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.

The Eternal Pointer Procrastination

The duality of a programmer's YouTube watch later playlist is painfully real. On one side, a video titled "Don't do it" with a noose thumbnail – the perfect metaphor for how we feel about diving into pointers. On the other, a 3+ hour C/C++ pointer course we've been "meaning to watch" for 4 years. The universe is telling us something: learning pointers is simultaneously essential and soul-crushing. That course will stay unwatched until approximately 3 AM the night before a critical project deadline when we suddenly decide it's the perfect time for professional development.
