Good Devs Are Expensive Until Disaster Strikes
The financial calculus of software development hits different at 3 AM when your servers are burning. That $150/hour senior dev you rejected? Suddenly looks like a bargain when compared to the $50,000/minute revenue loss from your payment system being down. The technical debt collector always shows up at the worst possible time, and unlike regular debt collectors, this one charges compound interest in the form of your engineering team's sanity and your customers' trust. Pro tip: The cost of prevention is always cheaper than the cost of the cure.

Times Are Tough
The desperate plight of the modern developer captured in SpongeBob meme format! Mr. Krabs stands before a tombstone marked "#1 COBOL", contemplating whether to disturb the resting place of this ancient programming language for financial gain... before immediately diving in headfirst. COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language) was created in 1959 and powers approximately 70% of banking transaction systems and 95% of ATM swipes. Despite being declared "dead" countless times, COBOL developers can earn $100k+ salaries simply because nobody wants to learn it anymore. The skills shortage is so severe that during the pandemic, several states desperately called retired COBOL programmers back to work. The grave-digging metaphor is painfully accurate - learning COBOL feels like exhuming digital archaeology, but the financial rewards make even the most principled developers reconsider their stance!

Pip Install Retirement Plan
The infinite money glitch nobody told you about! Python developers sitting there with stacks of cash just because they can install packages without the corporate world noticing they're doing absolutely nothing. "Hey boss, still working on those dependencies!" *proceeds to run pip install for the 47th time while browsing Reddit* The real genius is convincing management that each dependency takes a full day to configure. "Sorry, NumPy is being particularly stubborn today. Might need to order pizza and work late."

Php Programmers Want Money
Subtle genius at work here. In PHP, all variables start with a dollar sign ($), but the joke pretends it's because PHP developers are desperately chasing money rather than just following syntax rules. Meanwhile, JavaScript developers are over here using camelCase like they're riding economic humps to prosperity, and Python devs think whitespace will somehow pay their bills. The irony? PHP powers ~78% of the web, including Facebook, which literally prints money. So maybe those dollar signs were prophetic after all.
