Because I know nothing about programming, the fact that the internet works at all is absolute magic to me. But I know deep down that there aren’t little fairies behind the curtain pulling strings or a unicorn making this webpage load. There are millions of people around the world sitting at their desks working tirelessly to ensure that their code is written correctly.

If you happen to be one of these programmers or you’re beginning to learn programming yourself, first of all, we thank you for your service. And we present you with a list of hilarious and painfully relatable programming memes. We took a trip to the Coding Tech Facebook page, as well as a few other sources around the web, to curate this list of memes. So enjoy scrolling through, and be sure to upvote the pics you find extremely accurate!

    More likely that Musk and Bezos got in a bidding war for the rights to the word 'Save' and now the save icon is a picture of Bezos' head. It forces an amazon pop-up before it saves anything. The only way around it is to buy an Amazon Save subscription for $200/year.

    Computer programmers have a complicated job. According to Western Governors University, they have to write code for computer programs and apps, update existing programs, create and implement updates to improve programs, find and fix errors in code, rewrite programs for various operating systems and create technical guides for programs. Easy peasy, right?

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Typically, to find a job in computer programming, it’s necessary to have a degree in IT, computer science, web development, software engineering or of course, computer programming. But even if you’re an extremely qualified applicant, this is a competitive field to try to break into.

    That is what happens if you do design without taking users into account, without any consultation with users or testing. I mean sounds like software we use internally for company I work at... so you kind of do have to do gymnastics to get everything done in timely manner. But definitely designed by someone who never used anything like it in practice. Like in ideal world design isn't bad, but that is ideal world one experiences when being very high on drugs.

    Grid Dynamics reports that in 2018, there were over 23 million people working as computer programmers around the globe. By 2023, however, this number skyrocketed to 28.7 million, and it’s expected to increase by another million this year. The three largest hubs for software engineers in the world are India, China and the United States. 

    But there are plenty of programmers working in Europe as well, with a million in Germany, 533k in France, 465k in the UK, 401k in Poland, 323k in Spain and over a million more spread out throughout the continent. When it comes to what language and technology these programmers are working with, JavaScript is the most popular, followed by Java, Python, C/C++, C#, PHP, and more.

    There’s no question that it can be difficult to land a job in programming, as there are plenty of skilled coders all over the planet. But if you do manage to break into the field, it can be quite a lucrative career. According to Glassdoor, computer programmers in the United States earn an average of $95k to $159k a year. That’s about double what the average American worker earns annually.

    Steve Jobs adoptive father worked as specialized machinist at Spectra Physics, an advanced engineering company. From Job's authorized biobraphy: "The location of the Jobs’ home placed the youngster squarely in the middle of the exploding tech boom. Most of the dads in the neighborhood did really neat stuff, like photovoltaics and batteries and radar”. His close friend's father was Larry Lang, senior engineer at HP, who introduced Jobs to electronics and computing when he was just 7 years old. Lang also enrolled Job in HP outreach programs and introduced Jobs to HP CEO Bill Hewlett, who offered him a job there later on. Through their neighborhood contacts they had access to Regis McKenna, Don Valentine, and Mike Markkula, who ultimately provided funding to start Apple acting as "angel investors" and secured for them a line of credit with major credit institution at a time where the concept of "startup" was barely a thing. Job's success was 30% skill, 30% social network and 40% right place and time

    Yeah, problem here is survival bias, you are looking at top of successful school dropouts, not even like 1%, way less. Sadly you are highly more likely part of the rest of 99,9%. That plus they had plan why they want to drop out, dream to perdue, some of them also parents with money, that helps a lot. But generally, they didn't drop out because they hated school or thought how it is boring and so on. They dropped out because they had idea they pursued and worked on making a reality. So they took risk. But you on the other had dropped out without plan just rolling random dice on where you will end, expecting natural 20, but got just average roll. Natural 1 would be worse than McDonalds.

    I may have copied and pasted code I got from Stack Overflow directly into my own . . .maybe.

    Just like any other job, being a programmer certainly has its pros and cons. Indeed reports that some of the best aspects of the profession are: many workers have high job satisfaction, programmers often earn a decent salary, there are usually opportunities to work remotely, there are often opportunities to work freelance, being a programmer enhances a person’s problem-solving skills, and it’s not always necessary to have formal education if you have skills and experience in the field.

    Solution is simple, create empty prepaid credit card and after registration delete it. Then good luck trying to charge me or giving me any shenanigins with making it hard to cancel. Also prepaid cards work treally well with any hard to cancel services, be it gym, online service,... good luck charging empty prepaid card I can cancel at any point. So instead of going all around their trick course for canceling, simply out no money on it or camcel it. They can't charge you below 0.

    And a day later some of the lines of code get changed, but not the comment. But to be fair, Junior developer asks, "Why are there no comments? (10 pages of complicated code)" Senior developer answers, "I only comment what isn't obvious." Junior developer "OK, what does it do?" Senior developer, "I forget".

And senior devs don't wrote comments or write ones they even can't understand themselves.... :-D and then there is you, taking over project with no documentation, you have to maintain and you need to basically rewrite it because nothing makes sense. :-D

    Decades ago, at a Macworld conference, one panel of very senior devs were asked how they felt about writing clear self-documenting code. One (Dennis Brothers I think) said "You can get away without it for a small project... but any time you're part of a programming team, you really do need to go to the effort of making your code understandable." Another (Scott Watson?) said "That's true. And remember - the person you are today, and the person you will be in six months, constitute a programming team." The times that I have allowed myself to forget this, I have always paid the price afterwards!

    On the other hand, some of the downsides of working as a programmer are: the job usually requires being in a fast-paced work environment, the job can be very repetitive and it’s an extremely competitive profession. But there are a variety of jobs one can get with programming skills, including being a web developer, an app developer, a software engineer, game developer, task automation programmer, database engineer, business intelligence analyst, data analyst and more.

    Some of the other downsides of the programming industry that Springboard notes on their site are the fact that it’s a constantly evolving field, and it requires a multidisciplinary skillset. Your education will never be over, as you’ll always have to learn more and stay up to date with the current technology. And you can’t simply be good at math or statistics to be a great programmer. You also have to understand algorithms, design, physics, finance and more.

    Depends on the original source size too. If you have something that was originally meant to be played at 720p it should be optimized to look good on that. Most higher content (1080p and 4k) will look ok scaled back to 720p. But if it was originally meant for 480p then blowing it up to higher resolution is going to look rubbish simply because there is no information there to zoom in on.

    And as some of the memes on this list make very clear, programming often requires working extremely long hours. In theory, you’ll be done when the clock strikes 5. But if your projects aren’t complete or you’re working freelance, you could be at your computer all night. “You will need to find a way to work around this environment as a programmer,” Springboard warns. “Make sure that you take ample breaks even on busy days and maintain a healthy lifestyle as much as possible.”

    Back in the late '80, early '90s I worked on creating CD versions of some well-known programming textbooks. Part of what I had to do was work over all the code examples so they would actually work, since part of the appeal of the CD was a built-in IDE to run and modify the code from the book. Probably 10% were actually correct as published in the print edition.

    In most programming languages 0 and false are synonyms. Empty strings are a length value of 0, but you could also have a null string so that is perhaps not really applicable to the meme as their own examples. That would be the toilet paper we are referring to in this case and empty string would mean length 0. And null string would mean no length value at all. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    The thing ist ... senior is still right... changing a color, including all tests before releasing production, being interrupted with multiple other projects, learning juniors into projects (such that the above does not happen) ... is going to be 6 weeks.

    Deployment of change to test needs approval from change review team. Change can only be deployed to test environment on a Tuesday. Client needs to check, approve and respond. Change review team now needs to approve migration to production. Production release can only happen on a Tuesday night. Delay the responses long enough to miss the cutoffs and you then need to escalate to management if you want to schedule a "priority update" that is outside normally scheduled times.

    That might be true with CMS (Wordpress, Shopify, etc) where you can just Google "How do I do that in Wordpress?". It is, however, plain wrong with complex projects. You have to understand the whole business logic, and create an architecture to match the requirements. Stackoverflow is still essential, granted, but for small things, short snippets of code, punctual operations here and there.

    WOM. I hasve spent many years of dealing with WOM. This is why we don't give developers admin rights to the test servers. As they will turn WOM into WOTS, and it still won't work in production.

    We stopped giving the devs any admin rights to any server as they were just putting stuff on random servers and not telling anyone. One of them created a production web app which ran from a laptop on his desk. He didn’t tell anyone about it when he left so I got the all the noise yet had to repeatedly tell all that had no idea about it. Found the thing about 6 weeks later.
