To be a programmer is to know sacrifice. Sure, you have the potential to make the big bucks and a better understanding of how a vital technology works than 90% of the population, but did you ever realize how many sleepless nights that involved before you signed up for it? All the normies ever see are some smug-looking person standing in front of the shiny finished product. They don't know how many times that person desperately scrolled through their code, looking for the single dumb mistake that was messing it up for days on end.

It's not so often this struggle gets understood, so it's only fair that memes are here to hold your hand through these more difficult moments. Humor might not fix anything major, but it can be the attitude adjustment that we sorely need. This is especially true when talking about the numerous perils of coding, professional or otherwise.
