It follows, then, that being a programmer can be quite an important thing to do, even when whatever they are working on doesn’t feel like anything big. One of the first things that anybody learns when they start to code is that the smallest of mistakes can create the biggest of errors.

All of this is picked up in detail by programming memes, which give a voice to the varied experiences of every person who knows their way around a programming language or several.
