Computers Memes

OH. MY. GOD. The most BRUTALLY honest description of programming I've ever witnessed! 💀 When someone asks what you do and you hit them with "I tell computers to do things. Sometimes they listen" - it's the "sometimes" that absolutely SENDS ME. The sheer AUDACITY of these silicon-based divas refusing our commands after we've spent HOURS crafting the perfect instructions! Like, excuse me?! I wrote you a BEAUTIFUL algorithm and you have the NERVE to throw a runtime error? The relationship between programmer and computer is literally just us begging expensive calculators to cooperate while they randomly decide when to throw tantrums!

The eternal programmer struggle summed up in 11 words. We spend our days shouting instructions at silicon, hoping it might cooperate. "I tell computers to do things. Sometimes they listen." That's not just programming—that's an abusive relationship with technology where you're the one being gaslit. The computer knows exactly what you want but chooses violence instead. And the best part? When it finally works, you have no idea why. Just nod and back away slowly before it changes its mind.
