Every Developer's Kryptonite

legacy-code-memes, cobol-memes, mainframe-memes, programming-languages-memes, developer-fears-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Just like vampires fear sunshine and Superman fears kryptonite, modern developers run screaming from COBOL code. That ancient green screen with its uppercase commands might as well be garlic to a vampire. The joke's on us though—those legacy COBOL systems still run 95% of ATM transactions and most airline booking systems. Nothing strikes fear in the heart of a 20-something React developer quite like being told "we need you to maintain this 60-year-old mainframe code." Career kryptonite indeed.

Fourteen Tabs Of Qualification

Nothing says "I'm a real developer" quite like accidentally sharing your screen with 14 Stack Overflow tabs open. The recruiter's response is pure gold - because the only thing more authentic than frantically closing browser tabs during an interview is admitting we're all just cobbling together solutions from the internet. The shared panic-laugh is the secret handshake of tech interviews. Forget polished resumes - just show your chaotic browser history and you're hired.
