Automation Is Good... Until You Do The Math

automation-memes, scripting-memes, efficiency-memes, bash-memes, devops-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Ah, the classic automation paradox! The distinguished frog gentleman has discovered what every developer eventually learns the hard way: spending 8 hours automating a 10-minute task that you'll only do once a month isn't exactly the time-saving breakthrough you thought it would be. But did that stop any of us? Absolutely not. We'll automate our coffee brewing process even if it takes three weeks of development and a GitHub repo with 47 stars. It's not about efficiency—it's about avoiding the soul-crushing monotony of repetitive tasks... and having something cool to show off during standup.

Content Hey I want to make a psychological first person walking simulator with both Singleplayer and multiplayer support with RPG and rouge like elements. I have limited experience with game development and only worked on little mod projects my goal is to have cutting edge unreal engine 5 graphics with raytracing and dIss. It is a huge step for me and I am working on it for over a week now. The game is a about a man who has deep trauma and wants to find a way out of it. It will play in the city but later he will escape to the wild. If you have experience in modelling, programming or level design, please contact me. We also need concept artist and writers It's a project purely made of passion so you will be rewarded by the finished project and not by Money. So no pay because my budget is very limited. If you have interest please contact me

The Dam Of Technical Debt

That tiny crack in the dam is all that stands between your company and a catastrophic flood of bad code decisions from 2012. Management keeps asking why you're "wasting time" fixing the crack instead of building that pointless new feature nobody asked for. Meanwhile, the intern just asked what "documentation" means.

The Eternal Technological Amnesia

The circle of technological bewilderment continues! Future programmers will stare slack-jawed at our primitive coding methods without AI assistance, while we're already scratching our heads wondering how the ancients managed without Stack Overflow to copy-paste from. It's the developer's version of "I walked uphill both ways to school" except each generation's hill gets replaced with fancier tools. Somewhere, a programmer from the 70s is laughing at us all while debugging with actual paper printouts.
