To Own The Libs: A Corporate Tragedy

open-source-memes, dependencies-memes, corporate-memes, reinventing-the-wheel-memes, not-invented-here-syndrome-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The corporate mantra that haunts every developer's nightmares. Some exec heard "dependencies are risky" once at a golf course and suddenly your team is reinventing perfectly good wheels because "we need to own the libs." Meanwhile, the same company will happily outsource their entire infrastructure to AWS without blinking. The irony burns hotter than my CPU after running npm install.

Content Michael1979 Wanted: Computer Hacker Hi. I am Michael and I am pretty sure that the bakery across the street charged me for 8 croissants yesterday even though I only bought 7. To avenge this injustice, I need someone to help me hack into the bakery's computer and transfer the cost of a croissant from their account to mine. If you are good at technology, be outside the bakery at 5.18pm with a computer and we can carry out my plan. Here is what it will involve: We will be dressed as bakers so that people don't get suspicious (I will bring a spare baker's hat iust in case vou don't have your own) If anyone asks us what we're doing, just say, "We own a rival bakerv called Full Speed A bread and we are just checking out the competition" O L have memorised the Wikipedia page on bread so if they ask any detailed questions about bread, leave it to me If they ask any questions about bread that I can't answer, I will shout "RUN". That will be the signal that our cover has been blown and we need to get out of there If you do this job right and reimburse me for the croissant, I will see to it that you are rewarded. I will NOT pay you in money because that would leave a money trail that the police could use to track us down. However, since you are so interested in computers, I will pay you in floppy disks, like the one below. And don't worry, that's not the only floppy disk that will be coming your way. There are plenty more where that came from. Michael Re: Bakery Hack Hi. Michael again from the poster above. I have just remembered that I only have one baker's hat so you will need to bring your own. Hopefully this is not a problem. If it is. I could possibly borrow the protective headgear from my uncle's beekeeper's suit and you could wear that instead? I know this is not ideal but it will have to do Michael

The Contrast

The stark reality of every developer's life - a minimalist, boring IDE that looks like it was designed by someone who hates color... paired with code that's a chaotic explosion of pastel madness. Dark mode for the tool, unicorn vomit for the actual work. The irony is *chef's kiss* - we spend hours customizing our editor themes but then write code that looks like it was formatted by a 5-year-old with access to a 64-pack of crayons and no adult supervision.

Unconditional Love It Is

Nothing triggers that dopamine rush quite like seeing "Code compiled successfully." The rest of your day could be absolute garbage, your production server could be on fire, and your boss might be questioning your life choices, but for those brief 3 seconds after hitting compile... pure bliss. It's the closest thing to a functional relationship most developers will ever experience.

The Infinite Time-Tracking Loop

Ah, the infinite recursion of corporate time tracking. You're spending so much time documenting your hours in Jira that you need to document the time spent documenting time... and then document that time too. It's the bureaucratic equivalent of a stack overflow, except your sanity crashes first. Eight years into my career and I've started estimating "Jira maintenance" as its own task. 2 hours per sprint just to update tickets that tell management what I'm doing instead of, you know, actually doing it. The real joke? Somewhere there's a product manager using this data to optimize workflows. Irony, thy name is enterprise software.

Im A Serial Offender Too

The perfect definition of a programmer's daily struggle! The mug defines debugging as "Being The Detective In A Crime Movie Where You Are Also The Murderer." Absolutely spot-on. We spend hours hunting down bugs we created ourselves, frantically searching through our own code like some deranged CSI episode. "Why would someone write this abomination?!" *checks git blame* "Oh... it was me... last Tuesday." The duality of being both the creator and destroyer of functional code is the perfect crime - no witnesses, just you and your shame in a silent standoff with the compiler.
