A salute to all of you who code because you truly hold the weight of the modern world upon your shoulders. I am sure you already fully realize how much of a mess we would be in if we didn't have people to maintain and build upon computers, but it is worth reminding ourselves now and then because it's a sobering thought. It is also easy to forget its magnitude when you are this close to giving up and running away to live in the mountains after the millionth time of trying to get that darned piece of code to work. If you happen to be in that situation, let us try to tempt you back with the lure of programming memes. At the very least, they allow you to acknowledge the difficulties of programming with a smile. That's a start, even when nothing else seems to be going right.
