Enshittification Of Software

software-bloat-memes, tech-industry-memes, dark-patterns-memes, subscription-model-memes, feature-creep-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

A pig wallowing in mud with "O,RLY?" at the top is the perfect metaphor for modern software development. What starts as elegant code inevitably turns into bloated, subscription-based garbage swimming in a sea of dark patterns and unnecessary features. Remember when apps were just... apps? Now they're "experiences" that demand your firstborn child and lifetime data rights. The "O,RLY?" is that perfect sarcastic response when some PM tells you "users want this" while shoving another analytics package into your once-beautiful codebase. The circle of software life: useful → profitable → ruined. Tale as old as time.

Why I Have Trust Issues With Users

Look at this system monitor showing 199 YEARS of uptime! The classic "user reports impossible technical data" syndrome strikes again. Either this machine has been running since the 1820s (pre-electricity era, impressive!), or someone doesn't understand that uptime is measured in days:hours:minutes:seconds. But sure, go ahead and tell me about your 217,009 handles while running Chrome and IE simultaneously. Next they'll report their CPU temperature is -459°F because "it feels really cool."

Who Turned Off Transaction Logging To Save Space?

THE AUDACITY! Some absolute MANIAC turned off transaction logging to "save space" and now the entire database team is having a collective meltdown! 💀 It's like removing your car's brakes to make it lighter - technically correct but CATASTROPHICALLY stupid! Without transaction logs, you might as well write your data on Post-its and throw them into a hurricane. Hope everyone enjoyed having recoverable data because that ship has SAILED, darling! Database recovery? More like database PRAYER at this point! ✨

Purple Is The New Black

Ah, the famous Angular MaybeAsync type. It's like asking your junior dev if they'll meet the deadline—could be now, could be never, who knows? The perfect representation of modern web development: simultaneously promising everything and nothing. Schrödinger would be proud of this type that exists in quantum superposition between Observable , Promise , and pure chaos. After 15 years of building frontends, I've learned one truth—the only thing more uncertain than async code is management's understanding of how long it takes to implement it.
