Being a relatively new programmer is like living in two completely different worlds. Non-programmers think you are the absolute dog's meow. They act like you cured cancer, achieved world peace, and are worth 20 billion dollars. That kind of validation for choosing a well-paying career path can feel good, but it wears off soon enough when you're around senior programmers. You feel like the most useless ant at the picnic when you're with guys who've been doing it for years. In that room, you're nothing, knitch, nada, etc. Luckily, you're probably neither of these extreme archetypes of programmers. You're likely just a regular person, squarely in the middle of the bell curve. Isn't that swell? To celebrate not being garbage or a genius, take some time to enjoy some middle-of-the-road programming memes.
