The world of information technology memes has a vibrant history. From the humble beginnings of the internet to all things digital, there’s no shortage of memes about IT professionals and their work. Here are some of our favorites!
1. Sir please help me
- Sir, please help me
- I’m a programmer. I think in binary – 1 or 0. What’s your superpower?
- Programmer vs Developer
- Don’t be sad if you get rejected by the girl/boy you love, 68% of the time they end up marrying their programmer
2. I’m a programmer. I think in binary – 1 or 0. What’s your superpower?
You’re a programmer and you think in binary – 1s and 0s. What’s your superpower?
Programmers are logical, rational, and good at math, problem-solving, logic, and coding. They can also build computers (or they can destroy them).
3. Programmer vs Developer
It’s important to note that the term “programmer” is often used interchangeably with “developer.” A programmer is a subset of developers who know how to write code.
When you have a big project that needs a team of people working together, you’re going to need more than just programmers. You’ll also need business analysts, product managers, project managers, and many other roles.
4. Don’t be sad if you get rejected by the girl/boy you love, 68% of the time they end up marrying their programmer
This meme is a bit of an oversimplification, but you can indeed have a lot of fun with programming. It takes a certain type of person to be able to work through those long nights and weekends, but if you’re one of them then you’ll find yourself in good company among other programmers. There are tons of resources online for anyone looking to learn how to program their computer games or applications–you can even take free courses from some universities! If nothing else, learning how to code will make you appreciate the things our iPhones do in their spare time.
5. The Difference between Programmers and Developers
- Programmers write code.
- Developers test and document the code.
- Programmers are the people who build software, while developers are the people who make sure it works properly.
6. A programmer is not a machine that converts coffee into code!
A programmer is not a machine that converts coffee into code!
Programmers are humans, and they have feelings too. They’re not robots or computers, but rather sentient beings who have personalities and emotions just like you. When you insult them by acting as if they are automatons whose only job is to churn out code, you’re insulting their humanity.
7. Every day the same dream
- Every day the same dream
- Programmers are always dreaming of code. And what do they dream about? Cats, dogs, and unicorns. But never unicorns—you could get fired for saying that out loud.
8. Too much programming makes you stupid!
When you’re programming, a part of your brain is dedicated to thinking in the right way. It’s like trying to drive a car and talk to someone at the same time. You can’t do both very well at the same time, but if you’re driving alone then its fine!
Programming makes you feel smart because it’s hard and few other people understand what you’re doing. If someone asks what you did today, it feels good to be able to say something that sounds impressive or important. Having an answer that nobody else understands makes this even better!
9. There are 10 types of people in this world… those who understand binary and those who don’t
Binary is a number system with only two values: 0 and 1. It’s used in digital electronics, computer programming, and memory storage. The binary number system has been around since the days of ancient Greece when it was used to count sheep.
It’s also the basis of all modern computers—so much so that we’ve taken to naming our computer science majors after it! So if you’re interested in learning more about how computers work (and why they respond to certain commands but not others), check out some of these great sites:
10. If a program is useful, it will have to be changed!
The program is not static, it’s a dynamic system of relationships. The programmer is the one who makes it useful by making changes to its relationships.
Try programming yourself
You can’t say you’re a programmer until you’ve tried programming yourself. There are many ways to do this, but some of the most popular include:
- Writing an interpreter for your language of choice (see [1])
- Writing yourself in assembly language
Conclusion
I hope you enjoyed reading this collection of the best information technology memes. I’m a programmer myself and can relate to most of them (especially one) so if you have any more please share them with me in the comments below!
