It's just like a person

Twitter Blue has arrived

It's challenging to summarize the sheer number of wild things Elon Musk has proposed as the new unwanted overlord of Twitter. He laid off an excessive number of Twitter employees seemingly without understanding the consequences of doing so. He will allow people to buy verification for $8 a month. He has permanently suspended comedians with no warning for mocking this new initiative by impersonating him. He has begun unblocking his personal account from people who have blocked him. He has even p…

“Don't you get it? If you die in the game, you die for real.”

This year for Halloween, there are so many ways to dress up as programming concepts. Of course, you could take the easy way out and just dress like a programmer. Get some sweatpants on, put some black makeup under your eyes to make you look even more tired, and you're good to go. You could also go as a 404 error . Wear a white T-Shirt and write “Error 404 Costume Not Found” on it. You could even go as some of the most famous programmers in history. A Steve Jobs costume is classic and perfect fo…

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 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…

One of the most annoying things about being a programmer is the endless barrage of requests from your “friends” and “family” for you to make them a website. These requests are never put in professionally but rather brought up in a guilt-trippy way at random events. Your uncle has a landscaping company and has a website that looks like it would’ve been a victim of Y2K . Good news! Once you’re a programmer, your aunt will ask you to fix it every time you see her for years on end! The worst part i…

Never learn again

One of the hardest things about being a programmer is that you're not subject to the typical 9-5 workday. For many workers, if you can't get it done by Friday, you can merely shrug and get back to it on Monday morning. When you're a programmer, you have to work until the code is done and it works, and that's a lot easier said than done. Nobody knows why there are always so many problems with code when you first finish it. At this point, it's a medical mystery. But there is always something you…

The lines between reality and fiction are becoming more blurred as newfangled technology rears its head. I remember when deepfakes first came out, and seeing merely experimental videos utilizing that technology was frightening. Deepfakes essentially marked the beginning of an era of the internet where we knew that anyone, anything they said, and anything they did could be completely manufactured and fake. It was only a matter of time before deepfake or fully virtual celebrities emerged. The mos…

As a young kid interested in math and engineering, you'd never think that a misplaced semicolon, parentheses, or bracket could get you down so badly. The feeling of spending hours and hours on your beautifully crafted code can inspire pride. “Look at me," you might think. “I've created an impeccable masterpiece that could never be replicated. This is better than anything in the MOMA, the Met, or the Louvre. I was sent to earth with the Midas touch, and baby, I've been getting my hands dirty." B…
