The Programmer's Time Investment Strategy

automation-memes, efficiency-memes, overengineering-memes, laziness-memes, programming-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Spending 10 days automating a 10-minute task is the hill we die on. It's not about efficiency—it's about principle. Sure, I could just do the thing manually 600 times over the next five years, but what if I need to do it 601 times? That's when my beautiful, over-engineered solution pays off. The ROI calculation conveniently ignores the 16 hours of debugging and the fact that I'll probably leave this job before it ever breaks even. But hey, at least I didn't have to do something boring twice.

The Eternal C++ Learning Curve

Oh honey, the AUDACITY of C++! You start all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed like Scratch Cat, thinking "I'll master this in a month!" Fast forward to your traumatized, disheveled self clutching a bottle of whatever helps numb the pain of memory leaks and pointer arithmetic. The transformation from optimistic beginner to battle-scarred veteran isn't a journey—it's a HOSTAGE SITUATION. And the ransom? Just your sanity, sleep schedule, and will to code without crying. The eternal C++ learning curve: where "Hello World" feels like a victory and templates feel like psychological warfare.

Vibe Coders Who Actually Review And Edit The Code Get A Pass Tho

Finally, someone said it. The gatekeeping energy here is *chef's kiss*. While everyone's out here letting AI autocomplete their entire codebase and calling it "productivity," this dev is out here writing actual code from scratch like it's 2015. No Copilot suggestions, no ChatGPT prompts, no MCP server wizardry—just pure, unfiltered human logic and Stack Overflow tabs. The real flex? "If it doesn't work right, I DON'T PUBLISH it." Revolutionary concept in the era of "ship fast, fix in prod." Quality control? In THIS economy? Respect the hustle, honestly. Though let's be real, we all know this person still has 47 console.logs they forgot to remove before committing.

Excel Logic: Where Everything Becomes A Date

While philosophers debate whether the glass is half empty or half full, Excel is over here interpreting your liquid level as a date because why not? This perfectly captures Excel's notorious habit of converting anything remotely numeric into dates whether you want it to or not. Type "1/2" meaning one-half? Nope, that's January 2nd now. Your simple fraction? Sorry, it's February 1st. The eternal struggle of every data analyst who's ever screamed at their screen: "NO EXCEL, THAT'S NOT A DATE!"
