Annoying as it may be as a newer programmer to hear this from those miserable old timers, there is some compelling evidence that coding isn't what it used to be. Culprit number 1 is, of course, the integration of artificial intelligence into so many jobs and processes, as well as the fact that the industry and what is expected of the average programmer have changed rapidly over time, even without the help of machine learning.

One advantage that the coders of today have over those of yesteryear is that there are a lot more amusing memes to help describe the plight that is learning to code. The humor that comes along with programming is one of the best parts of it when the time comes that you need to take a break, but you want to keep your head in the coding zone. Enjoy these programming memes now, or save them for when you might need them even more.
