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."

Npm Install: The Universal Hacking Accusation

The eternal struggle of developers trying to help non-tech friends with their computers. You innocently type "npm install" to set up a cool project, and suddenly you're being accused of cyber espionage by someone who thinks command line = hacking. Nothing says "I'm a dangerous computer criminal" quite like installing a React todo app. The best part? Explaining that npm stands for "Node Package Manager" only makes you sound even more suspicious. Next time just tell them you're "downloading more RAM" – they'll believe that.

Damn It Steve: The AI Deployment Disaster

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute CHAOS of AI development in a nutshell! 💀 On one side, we've got the goth girl casually suggesting "Let's program an AI agent" like she's suggesting making brownies, while her friend is THRILLED about the idea. Just another fun coding project, right? Meanwhile, the boys' sleepover has turned into a FULL-BLOWN NIGHTMARE with military bros SCREAMING "WHO KEEPS DEPLOYING UNSUPERVISED AGENTS??" while some eldritch horror from the 9th dimension is crawling out of their deployment pipeline! This is literally every AI ethics committee meeting vs what happens in production when someone pushes code at 4:59pm on a Friday. The pentagram is just *chef's kiss* perfect symbolism for summoning demons into your codebase.
