Benefits Of Working In IT (Missing In Action)

tech-industry-memes, work-life-balance-memes, burnout-memes, tech-jobs-memes, career-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The joke here is that the pie chart shows the "Benefits of working in IT in 2025" with a legend listing Salary, Wellness, Stable mental health, and Confidence for your future... but none of the colors in the legend actually appear in the chart. Classic bait-and-switch that hits too close to home.

Seven years in the industry and I've seen enough "wellness programs" that consist of a single yoga session and free pizza to know this isn't far from reality. The chart is basically saying "here are all the benefits you were promised" while showing completely different data—just like how your job description never matches what you actually do.

Pro tip: The real benefits of IT are unlimited coffee and the ability to blame everything on "network issues."

Forget About Conventions

Oh look, an executive order for the MATLAB developers! The age-old religious war between array indexing at 0 vs 1 just got a new contender. While C, JavaScript, and Python devs start counting from 0 like sensible humans following computer memory offset logic, and MATLAB/R folks start at 1 like mathematical purists, here comes the decree that 2 is somehow the ultimate starting index. Next up: semicolons are now optional but randomly required, and all loops must be written backwards. The compiler will decide if your code runs based on its mood that day.

It Is Called Programming

The future is now, old man! Someone's shocked that in 2025 some developers still write code without AI assistance, and Kenneth drops the mic with "yeah it's called programming." Remember when we used to solve problems with our brains instead of prompting ChatGPT? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Some devs still have the audacity to use their neurons instead of letting GitHub Copilot write their spaghetti code. The horror! It's like being surprised someone knows how to do math without a calculator. "You mean you're writing SQL queries WITHOUT letting AI hallucinate your database schema? What are you, a caveman?"
