It could be said that we live in interesting times, and the life of the average programmer is not exempt from that. With all the hubbub surrounding the supposed wonders of generative AI, you would be forgiven for thinking that they would be out of a job. No matter what the future may hold and how many vibe coders exist out there making things up and claiming their errors as innovations, the world still needs those people who know how computers work (or claim to, anyway). 

Programming memes are a small yet entertaining way of celebrating this, allowing those who code to indulge in a little complaining while also amusing their fellow programmers at the same time. It is a winning combination, and a collection of these memes is a perfect way to take a break from coding while also acting like you are still on the job. It is related, after all.
