The General Feeling Of Documenting Things

documentation-memes, developer-memes, common-sense-memes, technical-debt-memes, code-maintenance-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Every dev has said it: "It's so intuitive, why waste time documenting it?" Fast forward six months, and you're staring at your own code like it's hieroglyphics written by a caffeinated squirrel. That tea bag floating in water is the perfect metaphor - what seems crystal clear to you now becomes a murky, unidentifiable mess for the poor soul (probably future you) who has to figure out what the hell you were thinking. Documentation isn't for today's genius you; it's for tomorrow's confused you who just wants to go home.

Show Me Your Code, Not Your Credentials

Billionaire needs "hardcore" engineers for his "everything app" but doesn't care about credentials—just wants to see your code. Translation: "Please do a free coding challenge so we can harvest your ideas while dangling the possibility of employment." Ten-year veterans know the drill. Send in your "Hello World" program and call it a day. The real "everything app" is the burnout we collected along the way.

I Trust On You

The eternal cycle of software development. Junior dev hands over a note begging for code review before production deployment. Senior dev crumples it without a second thought and tosses it away. Nothing says "I believe in you" quite like throwing someone directly into the fire. The production server makes an excellent teacher - cruel, but effective. That burning sensation? It's just your career growing.

How Is It Going

The perfect encapsulation of game developer paranoia! When someone asks about their game's progress, they immediately assume the person has heard some terrible news. That nervous smile says it all - "My game is totally fine and definitely not a buggy mess held together by duct tape and prayers! Why? Did GitHub leak my commit messages about the physics engine being 'temporarily' disabled since 2021?" This is the digital equivalent of responding to "How are you?" with "Why? What have people been saying about me?!"

Google Takes Sides In The Text Editor Holy Wars

When you search for "vi" and Google immediately suggests "Did you mean: emacs" - that's not a search engine, that's a declaration of war in the text editor holy wars. Google just picked a side in the oldest developer rivalry known to mankind. Next they'll be suggesting "Did you mean: spaces" when you search for tabs. The audacity!
