Stata Memes

When data scientists discover Python and R, they look at their old statistical software tools like they're finding flip phones in a drawer. Excel, STATA, SPSS, SAS, EViews, and Minitab—once the pride of statistics departments everywhere—now just expensive relics taking up memory and sanity. The real joke is that universities still charge students thousands to learn these dinosaurs while industry moved on years ago. Nothing says "I hate myself" quite like paying $8000 for a STATA license when pandas is right there, free, and won't make you want to throw your laptop into traffic.
