The Lazy Programmer describes itself as “the most vibrant tech community on Earth!” And based on the fact that the page has amassed an impressive 155K followers on LinkedIn, they just might be right.
To find out more about this amusing and engaging account, we got in touch with the page’s creator, Arturas, who was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and share some background information about how it all started.

Ahyep. This sums up Microsoft. Imagine buying anything besides a computer, and the manufacturer pops over with adaptations. That gorgeous sofa you bought is now in plaid. That shirt now has snaps instead of buttons. I bought a computer, but I have no control over what the manufacturer can, and will, do to it.

Except she gives him the cookie at the end. To really relate to software, she would have given him the cookie first before she said anything to him.
“Lazy Programmer started as a fun way to share the everyday struggles and inside jokes of IT professionals,” Arturas says. ”It was meant to be a side project, but the engagement and love from the community turned it into something much bigger.”
“Watching it grow has been incredible - seeing how many people relate to the memes and discussions proves that tech folks share a universal experience,” the creator continued.

Forget the magnet, pin it up with a push pin through the little hole in the corner.
We also asked Arturas about the best and worst aspects of working in the tech industry. When it comes to his favorite part, he noted the constant innovation. “There’s always something new to learn, and the ability to build and create things that impact the world is exciting."

On the other hand, Arturas says his least favorite aspects of the tech industry are burnout culture and unrealistic expectations. “Many developers face long hours and high-pressure environments, which can be exhausting. That’s why humor is so important - it keeps us sane!” he told Bored Panda.

Funny, most young people I know know nothing about how tech works. I've seen the kids in my son's school WhatsApp docs to each other but unable to figure out how to save it to their laptop or print it. I am Gen X and worked with a computer before IT departments were a thing so yep, gimme a moment and I will figure it out.

And then you rewrite one line of code and everything works and you still don't know why!
On that note, we were curious how maintaining a sense of humor can benefit those in tech. “The tech world is fast-paced, high-pressure, and often unpredictable. Humor is what keeps us grounded,” Arturas says. “It helps developers cope with imposter syndrome, debugging nightmares, and the infamous ‘it works on my machine’ moments. A good laugh can turn a frustrating day into something bearable.”

I have had to opportunity (rarely) to give advice to a young person about career paths... I always tell them to learn a trade (or several). Welding, electrician, A/C maintenance and repair, masonry, sheet-rocking, carpentry, painting, construction framing. Any job that CAN NOT be done remotely. You can work for yourself, you can work for others, you can work forever if you like. Many of the contractor I hire for household maintenance have more work than they can handle and make 100+ an hour and have retired from having to work regular hours.
And how does the Lazy Programmer decide what to share on his account? “I choose memes based on what’s most relatable to developers. If it makes me laugh and think, ‘Yeah, that happens way too often,’ I know the community will enjoy it too,” he says. “One of my favorites is the classic ‘I’ll just fix this one bug… 6 hours later’ - because every programmer has been there.”

I used to leave myself little notes in the code - "You were about to check this call() for a parameter type casting issue."

And don't ask a woman her salary or a man his age either.
Finally, Arturas wanted to give a huge thanks to the tech community for supporting Lazy Programmer! “It’s been amazing to see how humor brings developers together from all over the world,” he shared. “And remember - if your code works, don’t ask why!”

What I hate about any MS office program is that one little thing stops working and you have to Google it and try 550 different things to fix it (if you bother after finding out how many things you have to try). SOOOOOOO annoying!!!

I actually use this fact to my advantage. We don't have "best buy" in my country but I'm assuming it's a cheap electronic market. Every time my husband and I need to buy a new piece of tec the sales person will talk automatically to my husband, assuming as a woman I don't know anything. And I let the sales person talk and see if he knows anything and at some point I will start to ask very detailed in depth tech questions. The confusion is always high and they look at my husband and he just shrugs, "yeah, she is the expert. If you can't answer this question, do you have a sales person who can?" I always hope that I at least make one sales person reflect on their sexism.

I guess I'm too ancient for this one, I could only relate to a few of these.

Depends what you've done in your career. I started computing in 1984. It's certainly better paid than many jobs, salary was always above average.
