The eternal struggle between technical folks and management in three painful panels. In the first, the pointy-haired boss complains that moving to "the cloud" didn't magically fix everything. In the second, the engineer suggests actual technical solutions (cloud-native architecture, containerization) but gets shut down. By the third panel, the engineer sarcastically drops "Kubernetes" while the boss complains about "techy things." It's the perfect illustration of management wanting tech miracles without understanding the implementation details. They want cloud benefits without cloud architecture, then get frustrated when engineers use precise terminology. Meanwhile, engineers are dying inside with each buzzword the boss misuses. The irony? The boss is the one actually speaking in meaningless buzzwords while rejecting real solutions.

Using spaces instead of tabs. You should always, always use tabs, not spaces. 2. Using tabs instead of spaces. You should always, always use spaces, not tabs. 3. Not using auto-formatting. Forget all that tabsspaces rubbish, what's wrong with you - auto-format your code and then people won't have to look at vour weird ideas about brackets and spaces. 4. Using IDEs, which have features such as auto-formatting and nicely- coloured buttons. All code should be written in vi or Emacs, thus ensuring the purity of the programming experience. 5. Not using IDEs. No-one wants to pay for all the time it's going to take you to type things that you could have done at the click of a button, or scroll up and down using some ridiculous key combination invoked using LISP. 6. Failing to learn C and C. It's really important to learn the two absolute essential languages. You think Java is just as good? Fine, write me a real- time control system for racing cars in Java and I'll believe you. 7. Learning C or C when you could be using something modern like Java instead. Admit it - all your schedules involving C or C overrun by five years. And even then the software turns out to have critical flaws that Java would not even have allowed you to create. 8.

Move over FAANG, there's a new tech acronym in town! The meme brilliantly rearranges the logos of Google, Amazon, Y Combinator, Microsoft, Meta (formerly Facebook), Apple, and Nvidia to spell out "GAYMMAN" - the inclusive alternative to those boring corporate ladders everyone's desperately climbing. The tech industry's obsession with prestigious acronyms just got fabulously disrupted. Instead of stressing about getting into those elite FAANG companies (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google), why not embrace the GAYMMAN lifestyle? Probably has better work-life balance anyway.
