Programmers Are

Ah, the classic "Google search suggestions" meme with Pepe looking concerned. Nothing like society's collective search history to remind us where we stand in the pecking order.

After 20 years in this industry, I can confirm we're all just weird losers who jump at the sound of a production alert. The "not engineers" one hits particularly hard for those of us who spent $100K on CS degrees only to be told "real engineers build bridges."

The truth hurts, but at least we can afford therapy with our six-figure salaries that we spend entirely on mechanical keyboards and energy drinks.
