One of the more frustrating contradictions about programming is that a great deal of people have no idea how it works, yet almost all of them expect to be working with a perfect, usable product 100% of the time. Errors and bugs are not just something that coders lose sleep over and get stressed out about. They also have very real effects on the end user, who can get frustrated with something even more easily than those who worked on the software or site that they are using.

It is just one of many reasons that programming is an enterprise that requires a certain level of decompression now and then. While they often tackle the things that annoy coders the most, programming memes offer just that with their silly entertainment that broaches all kinds of programming languages and professional woes. They are worth taking a break with, if you can’t bear to part with your screen.
