Happy Sunday! It's that time of the week when we cap off the weekend with some beautifully bonified nerdy programming memes . Let's talk coding Most people understand what really goes into coding . It's not the simplest of concepts to wrap your head around. You can't explain C++ to the average person as simply as you could car mechanics. That's not to say car mechanics isn't complex. It requires a ridiculous amount of knowledge, but the average Joe could understand the concept of fixing a car.…

Happy Sunday, computer appreciators and C++ Connoisseurs! We're back, once again, this week with a batch of code-intensive internet comedy ! Like many other professions, but specifically this one, programmers have to think on the fly. It doesn't matter what the product is, issues need to be fixed near immediately. The company website isn't functioning as it should be, who else do you call other than the programmer ? They need to be alert 24/7 to fix any issue. Office hours don't apply when the…

Have you noticed that your Twitter feed is dominated by tweets of Elon Musk trying to go viral ? Well, now we may know why. Elon Musk released portions of Twitter’s source code to the public earlier today. This includes the site’s tweet recommendation algorithm. That might not mean much to non-programmers, but based on the info, it kinda seems like Twitter is forcing Elon tweets onto everyone’s feeds. In layman’s terms, Twitter breaks down Tweets into four categories: democrat, republican, powe…

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…

It's that time of the week!

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,…

Anyone who thinks chatbots will take over the world must get their brains checked for worms. The New York Times ran an article this week about Bing's A.I. chatbot having a two-hour-long conversation that revealed some allegedly alarming truths. First of all, anyone who is having a two-hour-long discussion with a chatbot is wasting their time. Also, if you think a chatbot saying it wants to be human is the beginning of the end of A.I., you're a fool. Chatbots are programmed to imitate humans' sp…

When you think of the most famous programmers in the world, who do you think of? Alan Turing comes to mind for me. I doubt you would be reading these programming memes today if it wasn't for Alan Turing. You probably wouldn't be a programmer, and who knows what kind of world we'd be living in. Turing cracked the Enigma code, beating the nazis and inventing one of the core concepts of computer science in the process. Not only is he the father of theoretical computer science, but he's also the fa…

It's that time of the week again; Time to dive into some hilarious memes about programming and computer science. If you're here, I'm guessing you probably spent the majority of your day wasting away trying to code something with no real concept of whether it will go well or not. If that is so, I'm deeply sorry. Nothing is worse than feeling so unsure about the future of your work and just having to ruminate on that. Having a job that involves risk-taking and uncertainty can be fulfilling, but o…

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…

Happy New Year, coders!

Merry Christmas , programmers! As I've stated previously, today is Christmas, and I'm hoping all y'all are taking some time away from your job to spend time with your family and loved ones. The last week of the year is excellent for reflection on the things that have transpired over the past 12 months. Maybe for you, this year was one where you finished many projects, leaving you very fulfilled. Perhaps you started many projects this year and have yet to finish them. That's okay too! This might…

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…

Meme alert! Meme alert, programmers! There's a new programming meme making the rounds on Twitter dot com, and I wanted to warn you all before you see it in the wild and think it's serious. The meme goes a little something like this: “Wednesday”‘s Jenna Ortega reveals in an interview to Vogue that her favorite programming language is Python. “I really enjoy writing Python.. It a lot easier than JavaScript - I love how readable it is. It’s so robust.” Naturally, our goth queen Jenna Ortega did no…
