Welcome, one and all, to a St Paddy’s Day edition of programming memes. Sadly, this crossover ends where it begins as there aren’t that many memes out there that celebrate being able to code and being Irish in the same image. While it’s a bit of a disappointment, we still get the consolation prize of numerous humorous musings on programming, and that’s what we’re all here for anyway. There’s always an upside.

Staying positive can be an underrated quality in a programmer. When the tiniest typo can make a whole big chunk of code go kaput, it’s basically a necessity. We wouldn’t have the computing power that we have today if those behind it didn’t have a little blind hope, and maybe the memes can help with that. Admittedly, their attitude isn’t always so upbeat, but at least they are funny. Let them motivate you into your next coding session.
