Automate It Mate

automation-memes, self-sabotage-memes, job-security-memes, efficiency-memes, irony-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The ultimate programmer's paradox: spending 80 hours automating a 2-hour task, only to realize you've just coded yourself out of a job. That moment of horrified self-awareness when your efficiency algorithm is too efficient. Congratulations, you've achieved peak productivity—now update that LinkedIn profile! The corporate world's version of sawing off the branch you're sitting on, except you designed the saw, optimized its cutting pattern, and wrote documentation for whoever finds your body.

Vibe Coders Who Actually Review And Edit The Code Get A Pass Tho

Finally, someone said it. The gatekeeping energy here is *chef's kiss*. While everyone's out here letting AI autocomplete their entire codebase and calling it "productivity," this dev is out here writing actual code from scratch like it's 2015. No Copilot suggestions, no ChatGPT prompts, no MCP server wizardry—just pure, unfiltered human logic and Stack Overflow tabs. The real flex? "If it doesn't work right, I DON'T PUBLISH it." Revolutionary concept in the era of "ship fast, fix in prod." Quality control? In THIS economy? Respect the hustle, honestly. Though let's be real, we all know this person still has 47 console.logs they forgot to remove before committing.

I Want Some Changes

The initial joy when a client approves your design is like that brief moment between deployments when everything works perfectly. Then comes the inevitable "but I want some changes" and suddenly you're Iron Man after the battle—broken, defeated, and questioning your life choices. The real superpower isn't coding—it's maintaining your will to live after the 47th round of "minor tweaks" that somehow involve rebuilding the entire architecture.
