Composition Over Inheritance: The Non-Answer

composition-memes, inheritance-memes, oop-memes, design-patterns-memes, code-reviews-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The eternal "composition vs inheritance" debate strikes again! Every junior dev has experienced that moment when they proudly present an inheritance-based solution only to have some senior dev smugly respond "just use composition" without elaborating further. The monkey puppet meme perfectly captures that awkward side-eye moment when you realize they've given you zero practical guidance for your specific use case. It's the programming equivalent of saying "git gud" instead of actually helping someone debug.

Nothing Better Than Coding During Christmas 🎄

Family gathering downstairs? Nah. Turkey dinner? Pass. Opening presents? Maybe later. But committing your AWS credentials and database passwords to a public repo in a blurry .env file while sitting alone with your laptop? Now that's the holiday spirit. Nothing says "Merry Christmas" quite like exposing your entire infrastructure to the internet. The tree is decorated, the lights are twinkling, and your BETTER_AUTH_SECRET is about to become everyone's secret. At least the photo is blurry enough that we can only read like 80% of those credentials. Security through jpeg compression—a strategy as old as time. Pro tip: Next year, maybe add .env to your .gitignore before you add it to your Christmas card.

Wtf It's My Signature

The coding journey in one perfect graph. You start with a tangled ball of confusion (that red mess is literally my first React project), stumble through the "I think I'm getting it" phase in the middle, and then suddenly—exponential growth to infinity. The kicker? That "Forever" label is spot on. Ten years in and I'm still waiting to reach the top of that curve. Spoiler alert: you never do. The learning never stops, which is both the most beautiful and most infuriating part of this profession. That chaotic squiggle is basically my resume at this point.
