Start Them Young

legacy-code-memes, mainframe-memes, cobol-memes, ibm-memes, programming-history-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Nothing says "responsible parenting" quite like abandoning your child with a mainframe computer from the 1970s and a COBOL manual! This is basically the programming equivalent of leaving your kid with dinosaurs as babysitters. That poor child is about to learn that semicolons aren't just for English class and that punch cards were the original "swipe right." The ultimate character-building exercise: debug COBOL or no dinner tonight! Honestly, this might explain why so many banking systems still run on ancient code - those traumatized children grew up and refused to ever touch the code again.

Parental Control On Linux

The ultimate plot twist in the Linux universe! Someone actually found a GUI for parental controls instead of just typing sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/firefox and telling the kid "browser's broken, sorry not sorry." Next they'll tell us Linux users read manuals instead of just copying commands from StackOverflow and praying nothing explodes.

From Python Paradise To Pointer Purgatory

Sweet summer child starting with Python, living the dream with its easy syntax and friendly error messages! But then comes C with its POINTERS FROM HELL and suddenly you're questioning all your life choices! Nothing says "welcome to the thunderdome" quite like going from Python's cozy blanket fort to C's memory management nightmare where one wrong move and your entire program IMPLODES in spectacular fashion! The psychological damage is IRREVERSIBLE!

The CSS Holy War

Frontend devs rejecting Tailwind's utility-first approach only to embrace the chaos of a 10,000-line CSS file that not even its creator understands anymore. Nothing says "I'm a serious developer" like spending three hours hunting down which selector is overriding your button styles. The irony? They'll still complain about "div soup" while their stylesheet resembles the complete works of Shakespeare – if Shakespeare had a nervous breakdown and typed with his elbows.
