Time machine Memes

The contrast here is absolutely brutal. Regular programmers get to proudly tell their past selves about their cool modern language, getting that sweet validation. Meanwhile, ABAP programmers? They're being hunted down by the Terminator himself. For context: ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) is SAP's proprietary language from the 1980s, still heavily used in enterprise resource planning systems. It's verbose, quirky, and let's just say it hasn't aged like fine wine. More like milk left out in the sun. The joke cuts deep because ABAP devs are stuck maintaining legacy systems that corporations refuse to modernize because "it works" and migration costs are astronomical. So while everyone else is playing with React hooks and Rust async, ABAP programmers are writing DATA: lt_table TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF... you get the idea. Walther Abap didn't invent ABAP (that was actually SAP founders), but the personification of their collective suffering into one target for time-traveling rage? Chef's kiss. 💀
