They Died To Become The Icon Of Saving

OMG, the AUDACITY of this floppy disk! Sacrificed itself to digital oblivion so we could have that little square "save" button in every application EVER MADE. The DRAMA! The LEGACY! Meanwhile, Gen Z programmers be like "why is the save icon a weird 3D-printed version of the Minecraft save button?" TRAGIC. These magnificent 1.44MB beasts carried our code through the dark ages when a single high-res image today would require a STACK OF THESE PLASTIC WARRIORS REACHING TO THE MOON. Pour one out for the OG data heroes - they didn't just save our files, they saved our SOULS. 💾

And Afford Food

The tech market's brutal reality check in one meme! Remember 2021? Fresh grads had the luxury of choosing between FAANG companies throwing obscene compensation packages at them. Fast forward to today's tech recession where senior engineers with 10 YOE are fighting for positions that barely cover rent. The "buff doge vs. cheems" format perfectly captures how quickly the industry shifted from "I'm deciding between Google's $200K and Amazon's $220K packages" to "please just let me implement yet another CRUD app so I can afford ramen this month." Silicon Valley's hiring freeze hit harder than a production bug at 4:59pm on Friday!
