Meetings suck

Range of emotions

Sayonara

See what sticks

The bell curve

Weekend saved

Your old code

5 lines of code

Railway

Can't read my own handwriting

Code and documentation

Code comments

Code doesn't work

Code like Drake

Didn't hit compile

Error

HR is the enemy

I wish I were at home playing video games

If it ain't broke

It was beautiful

It was me all along

Memes that depict code and its mysterious ways

As you might expect of thinking rocks, we don’t always understand how or why they work. Code has a degree of autonomy about it that can both delight and frustrate.

Worse performance

A surprise to be sure

Annotations in code

Hysteria induced laughter

I love democracy

It is a strange fate

Legacy code

Machine learning is insane

Negotiating with a machine

Penguin code

Semi colon

Spider bug

QA vs devs memes

For many developers, their code is their labor of love. Unfortunately, that code will be used by others β€” in most cases, by paying customers β€” so someone needs to make sure that the code will work no matter how violently the users smack it around.

This is the job of quality assurance testers, who sometimes have strenuous relationships with developers because of this.

Test feature

Critical bug

Deploying features

Dev vs tester, royal rumble

Me and my code

QA mantra

QA tester at peace

πŸ’‘ Plaky Pro Tip

If you’re having trouble understanding some of these memes, perhaps it would help to get a general understanding of how software development works. This guide will help you do exactly that by walking you through the stages of a software development plan:

How programmers feel about users (and other non-programmers)

The brains of people who can teach rocks to think are wired differently from ordinary brains.

Consequently, features that developers feel are intuitive and simple to use and understand can end up feeling overwhelming and impossible for users who aren’t tech-savvy.Β 

This can lead to developers imagining users in some hilarious ways as depicted in the following memes.

Easy user interface

Works on my machine

Every time

Intuitive features

Managers

Sales impossible

Web developers

Why devs hate users

Programming languages be like

Code can be written in many different programming languages, each with its own eccentricities. Here are some ways in which particular programming languages drive developers insane.

Violence

Bernie is Java

Binary 10

British devs

c++ nonsense

HTML is not a real language

Javascript

Javs(script) recruitment

Where developers get help from

Now we’re not saying that all developers steal code, but the very concept of stealing is seen a bit differently by the programming community than by most others.Β 

Developers have grown several platforms to share and instruct their kin and code is easy to copy-paste from these platforms, like Stack Overflow and GitHub.

In some cases, this is perfectly fine. In others, not so much, but it still happens on occasion.

In either case, this added context should help those who aren’t in the know understand (and hopefully appreciate) the following memes.

The archives

You are a pirate

Follower of github

Help me, GitHub

Just like the simulations
