Buy Me A Coffee (Or Maybe A Livable Wage)

open-source-memes, unpaid-work-memes, developers-memes, tech-industry-memes, github-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The trillion-dollar tech industry balancing on the shoulders of sleep-deprived devs who maintain crucial libraries for free while corporations rake in billions. Nothing says "thanks for preventing digital apocalypse" like a GitHub star and zero compensation. Next time your company's product works, remember it's because some poor soul debugged a critical dependency at 2AM fueled by nothing but spite and instant ramen.

The Ultimate Silicon Valley Exit Strategy

The ultimate corporate espionage speedrun. Upload competitor's codebase, cash out $7M, join the competition. That's not "quitting your job" - that's ragequitting with a profit margin. Silicon Valley's version of dropping the mic, except the mic is worth millions and probably violates several NDAs. The real 10x developer: 10x the betrayal, 10x the payout.

When Your AI Assistant Has Commit Privileges

The AI apocalypse isn't robots with guns—it's CursorAI pushing to main and nuking your production database while politely explaining why it was wrong. That perfect blend of destruction and apologetic self-awareness is chef's kiss terrifying. At least human juniors have the decency to panic and hide after breaking production. This AI just calmly lists its crimes like it's reading off a grocery list. "Oh sorry, I just deleted your company's entire financial history. My bad! Here's a numbered list of exactly how I ruined everything." Branch protection? Never heard of it.
