Programming Memes for Coding Geeks (August 17, 2025)

There is no two ways around it, these are somewhat bleak times for those who dedicated a lot of their time and study to computer science. As with many areas of the job market, an increasing number of grads are finding themselves struggling to find a good job in their chosen field, according to an article in The New York Times. So much for the retort of 'learn to code'.

Still, this world we live in relies on computers to keep it running, so there is still a place for all those coders out there. If we didn't have them, who would produce all of the programming memes? More than ever, they offer some necessary motivation and an outlet for the many frustrations of coding. Job or no job, every programmer can relate to the kinds of messages that are presented in memes that explore everything to do with code.
