When Compilers Stole My Punch Card Career

punch-cards-memes, legacy-computing-memes, compilers-memes, 1960s-tech-memes, programming-history-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth (aka the 1960s), programmers had to manually punch holes in cards to represent binary code. One wrong punch and your entire program crashed spectacularly. Then compilers came along and suddenly you could write human-readable code instead of managing thousands of punch cards like some deranged librarian. The person in this image is dramatically lamenting the loss of their painstaking punch card skills—as if anyone would actually miss spending 8 hours debugging because they sneezed while punching card #4,721.

The Password Security Nightmare

The eternal battle between security experts and literally everyone else. Security guy is all "your password needs 20 characters, uppercase, lowercase, numbers, special characters, and the blood of your firstborn" while the user's just sitting there like "why? 'admin' is fine." The look of pure horror on his face in that last panel is every IT professional who's discovered their company's production database password is "password123" and suddenly understood why they've been getting hacked every other Tuesday.
