The Original Tech Support Trick From 1983

The classic "have you tried turning it off and on again" tech support trick dates back to the Jurassic period of computing! When a developer loses their cursor in 1983, they immediately resort to the oldest trick in the book—faking a hardware problem and suggesting a reboot. The best part? It actually works, and the comic perfectly captures that smug satisfaction when your BS technical explanation saves the day. Some programmer traditions never die, they just get faster processors.

The Three Horsemen Of Programming Subreddits

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute TRAGEDY of programming subreddits in one perfect SpongeBob meme! 😱 It's the SAME THREE POSTS recycled for all eternity: someone dramatically collapsing because they forgot a semicolon (as if their entire codebase just exploded), the ten millionth "JavaScript bad" hot take (groundbreaking journalism!), and the pinnacle of originality—"vibe coding" where people share their RGB-lit desk setups while pretending to work. Meanwhile, poor Squidward is DYING inside, forced to witness this endless carousel of unoriginality. His sarcastic "How original" and "Daring today, aren't we" perfectly capture the soul-crushing experience of scrolling through the same recycled programming jokes since the dawn of time!
