Happy Sunday, computer wizzes and Java aficionados! We're back this weekend to give you another helping of painfully relatable programming memes. Celebrate your Sunday with some tech industry funnies ! Maybe you practiced programming a little bit throughout high school. Basic scripts, pursuing knowledge in a variety of code languages, the whole thing. Maybe, in retrospect, you weren't incredible at it, but you were very much interested in the field. Your friends and family support your passion.…

Happy Sunday, programming wizards! We're back this weekend, once again, to provide you with the best and brightest programming memes . Perfect timing, right? How much has ChatGPT affected your life as a programmer? Has it alleviated the stress of programming all on your own? Has it been a hindrance because it's not exactly optimal? Are you staying far, far away from it? Programmers and tech-obsessed individuals probably have a better read on artificial intelligence than your average Joe. Either…

Happy Sunday computer obsessives! We’re back this weekend to offer you another helping of sweet, sweet programming memes . And what better time to browse some code-based funnies than a day you all, hopefully, have off? I’ve said before, I don’t know how to code. At least, I don’t know how to code very well. I’m notoriously bad at understanding the fundamentals of any language. Combine that with a complete inability to do complex math; I just wasn’t built for coding. Thank my freshman-year profe…

Things might be a little better if I stayed in school for programming. Getting paid the big bucks to live in Silicon Valley and play around with computers all day? Sign me up! My main issue was that I’m terrible at math and professional programming is nowhere near as idyllic as what I’ve just described. I don’t have much coding experience. I took a few courses on Code Academy, goofed around making Python scripts as a teenager, and then switched my major from computer science in my second semest…

What no p***y does to a MF

Take a train

No more Elon?

It's absolutely mind-boggling to think of all the tech-related advancements that have occurred over the last, oh, fifty years. And while we do poke fun at the technical abilities (or lack thereof) of the geriatrics in our lives, we've really got to hand it to them: There's been a lot to keep up with. While my 93-year-old grandmother impresses me with her knowledge of how to email, the truth is that there are definitely elderly people who are both more and less technologically advanced than she…

Happy Sunday, programmers! I may not be one of you, but I understand your struggle. One of my best friends in college was a computer science major , so I know exactly what it's like! Just kidding! I know I could not have lived the life that he did. I was sitting pretty getting a simple little liberal arts degree while this man had to stay up for 48 hours at a time to finish a singular project . Most of the time, he was just a cool bisexual stoner who just happened to be a STEM kid as well. But…

I do not envy anyone who has to fire others. Letting somebody down easy is a skill I simply don't have. Every time I've broken up with someone, I have done it clunkily and a bit insensitively, which is really not ideal for delivering bad news . You need to tell the other person what's happening directly, but not too directly. You need to be empathetic first and informative second. You need to make sure they cry after you fire them instead of when they're in the room with you. It's a tricky bala…

Being a relatively new programmer is like living in two completely different worlds. Non-programmers think you are the absolute dog's meow. They act like you cured cancer, achieved world peace, and are worth 20 billion dollars. That kind of validation for choosing a well-paying career path can feel good, but it wears off soon enough when you're around senior programmers . You feel like the most useless ant at the picnic basket when you're with guys who've been doing it for years. In that room,…

The insane ways that tech companies treat their employees never cease to amaze me. This past Friday, workers at Google in NYC found out whether they were getting laid off with a borderline dystopian method. Workers lined up early to test their employee badges. If they scanned it and the light turned green, they didn't lose their job. If the light turned red, they were laid off. Of course, Google didn't intend to act like an evil government in a young adult novel. They sent emails the night befo…

Like taxis, but worse

One of the coolest things about being a programmer is the lack of formality. People laughed at Mark Zuckerberg in the 2000s for enabling a culture where everyone wore a t-shirt and sweatpants to work. These days, it's not even a second thought that tech workers are not dressing up in a suit and tie. As somebody who works in an artsy-fartsy industry, I openly enable coders and programmers wearing their pajamas to work. We've got to stick together in this world and fight against the rules and reg…

It seems like artificial intelligence is coming to replace everything these days. So many news sources are reporting on AI being able to solve complex coding problems or write whole essays. Allegedly it can create art too, but all of the robot art I've seen has like seven weird phantom knuckles, so I'm not entirely buying it's art proficient. Luckily, we're not at the point where AI can really replace us yet. It's advanced, but it's not that advanced yet. AlphaCode, a new artificial intelligenc…

In this world, you get what you pay for.
