What Made This Day Special

Back in the 60s, programmers were literally PUNCHING CODE into cards by hand! 🤯 The person in the image is holding up punch cards with the caption "COMPILERS TOOK MY JOB" - it's basically the original "robots are stealing our jobs" but for coding! Before compilers existed, humans had to manually convert code into machine-readable formats. Then BAM! Compilers showed up and were like "I got this" and an entire profession vanished faster than free pizza at a hackathon! Those punch card operators never saw it coming!

Windows users: "But can it run Crysis?" Linux users: "My PC is literally rusting in a garden and still boots faster than your gaming rig." That ancient, decomposing computer case with exposed wires is the perfect representation of Linux's beautiful philosophy - it doesn't need fancy hardware or bloated software to function. While Windows begs for another 16GB of RAM just to open a text file, Linux will happily run on whatever archaeological artifact you've salvaged from the Jurassic period of computing. Efficiency over aesthetics, function over form, and tetanus shots over RGB lighting.

You know that look. The one where you're physically present but mentally calculating how many years of your life you've lost listening to someone explain that their computer is "broken" because they haven't tried turning it off and on again. Or when they call the monitor "the computer" and the actual tower "the hard drive." Or when they say their internet is down but they just closed the browser window. It's not anger. It's not even frustration anymore. It's transcendence. You've reached a zen-like state where you can smile and nod while internally screaming into the void. Every fiber of your being wants to correct them, but you've learned that explaining the difference between RAM and storage for the fifteenth time won't help. They'll still download more RAM next week.

The ultimate programmer pickup line that actually works! Fixing printers is like the final boss of tech support—a nightmare realm where even seasoned developers fear to tread. When a programmer offers to fix your printer, that's not just flirting... that's basically a marriage proposal. Printer drivers exist in that special circle of hell where documentation goes to die and logic ceases to exist. The fact that he's willing to battle those cryptic error codes and mysterious paper jams? That's true love in binary form.

The great GPU wars continue. Intel Arc arrives as "A New Hope" in December 2024, only for NVIDIA to immediately crush that hope with RTX 5070 in January as "The Empire Strikes Back." Then AMD swoops in with RX 9070 XT in March as "Return of the Jedi." Just another predictable chapter in the never-ending saga where your wallet is the true casualty. The Force is strong with price gouging.

Jensen Huang really out here catching strays for making GPUs so expensive that Microsoft and Nvidia became household names for draining corporate budgets. But you know what? The man deserves credit where credit is due. He didn't just create a tech company—he created "Microslop Nshitia," the beautiful merger of bloated software and overpriced hardware that perfectly encapsulates modern tech. Your AI model needs 8 H100s to run? That'll be the GDP of a small nation, thanks. Want to train anything? Better get that enterprise license from Microsoft Azure while you're at it. It's the perfect ecosystem: Microsoft provides the cloud infrastructure to burn money, and Nvidia provides the GPUs to set that money on fire even faster. The Drake meme format really captures the vibe—rejecting the individual corporate overlords but fully embracing their unholy alliance. Because if you're gonna get fleeced, might as well get fleeced by the dream team.
