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…

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…

Hello, thanks for your email. We're happy to help. If you can't see these memes, we recommend that you try turning your computer off and then on again. Other than that sage wisdom, we can't help you, because we're not actually IT professionals—we specialize in memes. Despite this, we can offer some relatable content to all the information technologists out there who feel like being a little triggered and a lot seen. We know the job can be frustrating sometimes, and we salute you. Or maybe you'r…

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…

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,…

Have you all heard the drama regarding Elon Musk firing programmers at Twitter? It is honestly so stupid I couldn't even believe what I was reading. For legal reasons, this is all alleged, but ALLEGEDLY, Elon Musk has ranked the programmers at Twitter based on the number of lines of code they wrote in the past year and fired those at the bottom of that list. So basically, Musk fired all of the programmers who fixed the buggy code and kept all of the programmers who wrote said buggy code. Such m…

There's been an epidemic sweeping the programming memes community. One meme has positively overtaken r/ProgrammerHumor to the point that it's nearly unuseable. I'm of course talking about, “what's stopping you from coding like this?”

It's IT meme time! I know what you're wondering: Do you mean IT, the classic Stephen King novel and 2017/2019 films about clowning gone wrong? Absolutely not, you stupid baby! It's IT time as in, the actually important IT, which stands for Information Technology . Now I will be honest with y'all. I am not a diva of the IT or computer science or programming persuasion. I am merely a humble former English major hoping that the STEM kids in the room accept these memes into their hearts. Even if I…

it’s that time of the week again. Time to dive in to 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. Thank God. We live in a world where our salaries can be salaried and not just based on whether each line of code succeeds or not.

Having a knack for computers is one of the most valuable skills someone can possess. Many people want to be programmers , but only a tiny elite group can actually pull it off successfully. A lot of wannabees think that since they changed their Tumblr theme with HTML in 2012 they can do this extremely difficult job. Coding takes hundreds of hours of your life but when a project is finally complete, it's the greatest feeling in the world. Programmers and coders are also well known for being able…

It's been a long day, and you've done so much. You've accomplished what many people have failed at: continuing to be alive. Whether you spent that day ignoring your chores and watching Frasier reruns or climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for the second time, you deserve a nice long sleep. Whether the night is young or elderly, you can get some shut-eye . But not just yet. After all, you need to accomplish at least one last thing before you go to bed. Why not consume a story? Consuming a story might ver…
