Banks Love COBOL

cobol-memes, legacy-code-memes, banking-memes, mainframe-memes, lord-of-the-rings-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The entire financial world runs on COBOL code written when dinosaurs roamed the earth. New programmers see this ancient language and want it burned at the stake, but banks cling to it like Gollum with the precious ring. Why rewrite millions of lines of working code when you can just pay COBOL developers obscene amounts of money instead? The banking industry's motto: "If it's broken enough to work for 60 years, don't fix it."

Meeting Driven Development

The perfect encapsulation of modern corporate development culture. You spend 90% of your time in meetings discussing features that will never see the light of day, while your actual coding time shrinks to whatever's left between "sync-ups" and "alignment sessions." The grumpy cat perfectly captures that dead-inside feeling when you realize your job title says "developer" but your calendar says "professional meeting attendee." The genius insight here? Can't have technical debt if you never write any actual code. *taps forehead*
