The 'Skipping Steps' meme, often based on a webcomic illustration, depicts a character choosing to leap over intermediate stages to reach a final goal. It represents the human desire for shortcuts, the avoidance of 'the grind,' or the sudden leap from beginner to expert without the necessary middle steps. While the visual origin points to minimalist webcomics, it gained massive traction on Reddit and Twitter as a way to mock people who want success without putting in the foundational work. It is commonly used in tech, fitness, and gaming communities to highlight 'cheating the system' or ignoring essential prerequisites.
