Ever wonder what a Programmer does? Simply put, they are highly logical thinkers who have figured out the precise sequence of keyboard strokes to make money appear in their bank accounts.
Programmers are sensitive souls who respond strongly to harsh digs and dank memes. Below are a bunch of memes that I've made, using nothing more than Photoshop and a snarky attitude. You are more than welcome to use any of these memes on your favorite Programmers!
When Your Code Compiles But Everyone is Angry: Must Be a Brogramming Error
There is also the dreaded sub-type of Programmer called the "Brogrammer," and I would like to shed some light on this often misunderstood species.
Practically everyone who works in the Seattle tech industry knows a Brogrammer when they see one. But just in case you didn't know, I've offered up the following Merriam-Webster like definitions to help you identify a Brogrammer from a regular Programmer:
Programmer
noun | pro·gram·mer | \ ˈprō-ˌgra-mər , -grə-\
A person who prepares and tests programs for devices (such as smartphones or computers)
Brogrammer
noun | bro·gram·'mer | \ ˈbrō-ˌgra-mər , -grə-
A person who creates and tests programs for devices (such as smartphones or computers), but needs to check in his f*cking ego at the door.
By my very scientific calculations, Brogramming errors account for roughly 36% of work-related arguments. Have you ever met a stubborn programmer who was SO sure that he was right, and so unwilling to hear constructive critique, that you’ve wanted to grab them by their popped collars and scream: "You might wanna fix your Brogramming Error, before the ENTIRE SYSTEM CRASHES”—but you don’t say it because you live in Seattle and everyone is passive-aggressive. So everything just breaks.
(Heyyy so this is just a thought but maaaaybe if these companies would actively solicit and HIRE more WOMEN, they wouldn't have to deal with such enormous egos all the time, but what do I know I’m just a maker of memes)
Fun trivia: The very first recorded instance of a computer “bug” was in 1947, when computer scientist Grace Hopper reported a literal moth trapped in her computer at Harvard University.
