The Immortal Tech Survivors

tech-layoffs-memes, faang-memes, job-security-memes, corporate-survival-memes, tech-industry-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

That one developer who somehow survived the tech apocalypse at Facebook/Amazon/Apple/Netflix/Google while everyone else got pink-slipped isn't human anymore. They've transcended mortality and become a cosmic deity through sheer corporate survivalism. Their legacy codebase is so tangled that firing them would literally break the universe. Not even ChatGPT could replace them because it would need therapy after seeing their undocumented code. Their Slack status? "Can't talk, holding entire AWS infrastructure together with duct tape and spite."

The Final Part

That proud moment when you're showing off your janky code that somehow passes all the tests despite being held together with duct tape and prayers. "It ain't much and it doesn't work" is basically the unofficial motto of every production codebase I've ever maintained. The farmer's honest simplicity perfectly captures that mix of shame and weird pride when you know your solution is terrible but hey—it shipped on time!

Shorten Your Function Name

The classic programmer journey from self-righteousness to self-sabotage in three easy steps: First, you write a verbose, descriptive function name that perfectly documents what it does. You feel virtuous. Clean code! Self-documenting! Then, you realize typing that monstrosity repeatedly is killing your productivity. So you create a wrapper function with a shorter name. Problem solved! Finally, you're faced with your creation in production code: if (cumming()) - and suddenly you remember why code reviews exist. Your future maintainers will either die laughing or hunt you down with pitchforks. And this, friends, is why naming things remains one of the two hardest problems in computer science.
