Heavy are the responsibilities of the average programmer. Not only do you have access to what a large amount of the world population would consider to be arcane knowledge, but it is also something that most of us depend on for our lives and livelihoods—and you’ve got to make it work. That’s no mean feat, especially when you consider all the things that can go wrong with the average piece of code. There is a lot to consider.

Considering the amount of time, energy, and brainpower that coding takes, it’s only fair that those who do it have some appropriate ways to let off some steam. Of course, our number one recommendation for this has to be an offering of programming memes. No matter your skill level or preferred coding language, there is bound to be some humor for you here. Just don’t take your eyes off the prize in the meantime.
