Anybody who chooses to code has a big responsibility on their shoulders.

Ultimately, almost everything about how the modern world functions today relies on computers working correctly. This is something that in the coming years, we are only going to become more dependent on if we look at what the powers that be are pushing on us. It would probably be a good idea for even more people to have a basic understanding of the function of programming.

The AI boom has left many programmers wondering if they may eventually be out of a job, but it also goes to show the great importance of their trade in this day and age. With former employees of big AI companies scaremongering us all with the potential power of the likes of ChatGPT and beyond, knowing at least a little of what goes on behind the scenes appears to be more important than ever. The mechanism behind the technology is human, even if it does develop a mind of its own. It is important not to forget that.

While there is apparently a chance that we will get to the point where the computers won't need all that much human interference to function, for the time being, we need those people who have decided to learn to code. It isn't always a walk in the park, and the workplace of a programmer can sometimes be just as, if not more, frustrating than a machine that is refusing to do what you want it to do. That is why it is necessary to blow off steam with some memes.
