In Honor Of Our Coding Godfather

Churchill gets up thinking he's being honored, but nope—it's Alan Turing, the OG computer scientist who cracked the Enigma code while Churchill was just drinking tea and making speeches. The speaker's savage "sit down" moment perfectly captures how programmers feel when managers try to take credit for our work. Turing literally invented modern computing while being criminally underappreciated. Next time your PM says "we built this feature," remember this meme and silently seethe.

Nostalgia For A Time You Have Never Experienced

This meme is peak programmer time travel fantasy! It's portraying the classic "wake up from a coma" trope where our modern dev suddenly finds himself in the golden age of computing (70s/80s) with two Unix beard legends telling him all his 2023 AI anxiety was just a bad dream. ChatGPT? Devin AI? Job losses? Nope, none of that exists - instead, let's do something actually meaningful like rewriting Unix in C! The irony is delicious - modern devs romanticizing an era of limited computing power, punch cards, and no Stack Overflow as somehow more "pure" than our current AI-assisted coding hellscape. Nothing says programmer nostalgia like yearning for a time when debugging meant actual physical switches and you had to wait overnight for your code to compile.
