Drag and drop Memes

The eternal tech support nightmare captured in six panels. Non-technical person asks if you're "good with computers," then immediately demands impossible magic like putting MP3s in a watch and talk radio with Frank Sinatra. When you try explaining the technical limitations, they just scream "DRAG AND DROP! DRAG AND DROP!" as if that's the universal solution to all computing problems. The perfect encapsulation of why programmers develop eye twitches when relatives call for "quick computer help."

The classic "monkey puppet" meme perfectly captures the thousand-yard stare of veteran programmers when someone claims "you don't need to be a programmer to write software." That statement might sound innocent to the uninitiated, but anyone who survived Visual Basic, FrontPage, and Dreamweaver in the 90s knows the horror that follows. Sure, drag-and-drop interfaces made software "accessible" – right until you had to debug the absolute nightmare of auto-generated code that looked like it was written by a caffeinated toddler with a keyboard. The right panel showing ancient UI builder software is giving me flashbacks I didn't consent to.

The industry keeps inventing new terms to sell the same old drag-and-drop builders. First it was "low-code/no-code" platforms promising to make developers obsolete. Now it's "vibe code" - same cheap knockoff but with a trendy rebrand. It's like putting a fedora on a WYSIWYG editor and calling it innovative. Meanwhile, actual developers are sitting back watching management fall for buzzwords that'll be abandoned faster than a Git repository after the startup funding dries up.
