A large part of programming involves dealing with things that seem specifically designed to test even those who have the patience of a saint. One of the keys to becoming a successful programmer is learning not to let that frustration get the better of you too often, something that is often easier said than done. The truth is, these machines that are supposed to make our lives easier can be downright temperamental. As if that wasn’t enough, dealing with their quirks can seem like paradise compared to putting up with the people who use these programs and machines.

Fortunately, there’s a bit of relief to be found in the form of programming memes. They capture the many frustrations of coding with humor, making the whole experience seem a bit less arduous. Of course, they too can sometimes irritate programmers. However, that’s a small price to pay for the same of entertainment.
