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.

I Technically Never Wished For More Wishes

This programmer just executed the most beautiful integer overflow exploit in history! First wishing for wishes to be counted as an unsigned 32-bit integer (max value: 4,294,967,295 wishes), then ensuring the subtraction happens after the wish completes (avoiding the "no more wishes" rule), and finally wishing for 0 wishes which causes an underflow to 4,294,967,295! The genie's face says it all - he just got absolutely destroyed by a classic buffer overflow vulnerability. This is what happens when you don't sanitize your inputs, magical beings!

The C++ Mastery Time Warp

Oh. My. GOODNESS. The absolute TRAGEDY of C++ mastery captured in its full horrifying glory! 😱 Our poor protagonist starts as a sweet innocent programmer, only to be CONSUMED by the dark arts of pointers and memory management! Those horns? They're not fashion - they're the physical manifestation of the DEMONIC KNOWLEDGE required to tame C++! And that final panel? DEVASTATING! "How long was I gone?" Our hero emerges from their C++ enlightenment only to discover they've sacrificed YEARS of their life to the language gods! Their friends and family? GONE! Their youth? VANISHED! All for the ability to manually manage memory and argue about template metaprogramming at parties! The price of power is steep, darlings. C++ doesn't just take your time - it takes your SOUL! 💀
