Whether you like pour over, espresso, Keurig, or good ol' 7Eleven brew, these memes are for you

A stack of memes for stressed out coders

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…

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…

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…

Happy New Year, coders!

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?”

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…

So many people think that if you're a programmer , you must have a purely analytical brain with no room for creativity. That is patently untrue because everyone who has programmed anything knows that there's one arena in the code that allows you to stretch your creative muscles fully. I'm talking, of course, about the comments. Comments allow you to fully justify and make up for whatever monstrosity you've coded thus far. They add a little brightness to your day when you return and find a frien…

Good day, programmers . Today is Sunday, which hopefully means you're only looking at programming memes and not doing any actual programming today. After all, it's essential to have a healthy work-life balance. But I know as well as anyone that sometimes, work has to come before life. When you have something necessary and time-consuming to do, the workday is often not long enough. It's a sad reality, and we all find different ways to deal with it. Suppose you're reading this during the workweek…
