When Your Family Tree Is Also Your Dependency Tree

The family tree of code maintenance! Someone's friend learned COBOL (that ancient language from the 60s still powering banks and government systems) only to inherit a codebase last touched by his actual mother in the 90s. Talk about biological inheritance vs programming inheritance! While OOP enthusiasts would expect to extend a parent class with new methods, this poor soul got literal parental legacy code instead. The real inheritance tax is maintaining your mom's spaghetti code from the Reagan era. Bet those family dinners get awkward when he asks about the lack of documentation.

Fuck Your Password Create An Access Token

GitHub's password deprecation strategy is like a villain in a noir film. "Please enter your password... ah yes, thank you. By the way, passwords are dead to me now. Generate a token instead." The classic bait-and-switch executed with all the subtlety of a ransomware notification. Nothing says "we care about security" quite like making you use an outdated authentication method before telling you it's outdated.

Exception You Mean Error

The eternal language war in one image! Python's like that chill friend who's all "No worries about those exceptions, bro! Just wrap it in some parentheses and we're good!" Meanwhile, Java's sitting there with its strict typing and explicit exception handling like "Are you KIDDING ME right now?!" This is basically the programming equivalent of asking someone how they're doing - Python says "it's fine" when the house is literally on fire, while Java's having a complete existential breakdown over a missing semicolon. The duality of developer life in one perfect meme.
