First They Came For The Em Dashes

OMG, this is the MOST DRAMATIC poem of programmer persecution complex I've ever seen! 😭 It's a parody of the famous "First they came..." Holocaust poem but about PUNCTUATION and CODING, which is just SO EXTRA I can't even! The meme tragically chronicles the downfall of civilization through typography—first the em dashes (—) disappear, then the artists, then writers, until finally... THE PROGRAMMERS! And by then there's no one left to create a Stack Overflow thread about it! The absolute TRAGEDY of it all! *faints dramatically onto keyboard*

Pick Your Poison

Ah, the eternal dilemma of legacy maintenance. Do you want to decipher cryptic Fortran from the moon landing era or try to understand whatever framework-of-the-month some junior dev installed because they saw it on a YouTube tutorial? The cold sweat is real. Ancient code at least has the excuse of being written when computers had less memory than your coffee maker. Modern "vibe code" was written yesterday by someone who named all their variables after their favorite anime characters. Either way, you're the poor soul who has to maintain it until retirement or sweet release, whichever comes first.
