Back in the 60s, programmers were literally PUNCHING CODE into cards by hand! 🤯 The person in the image is holding up punch cards with the caption "COMPILERS TOOK MY JOB" - it's basically the original "robots are stealing our jobs" but for coding! Before compilers existed, humans had to manually convert code into machine-readable formats. Then BAM! Compilers showed up and were like "I got this" and an entire profession vanished faster than free pizza at a hackathon! Those punch card operators never saw it coming!
