Being a programmer has become the cool job that everyone wants. It pays well, and if you’re good at using a computer, then you’re already on the right path to start learning a thing or two about programming yourself.
But not everyone has the patience for it. It can be tedious; you need to pay attention to detail, and even though you might think you’re finally done with the code, when you run it: bam. It’s not working. Yeah, super fun. But these are such common experiences that there are so many memes online about life as a programmer, so here are our picks for the funniest ones.
And well, it’s one kind of job that doesn’t discriminate. There’s no denying that certain jobs have a lower percentage of either men or women depending on the area of expertise.

This is partly because millennials and Gen Z are the generations most exposed to technology from school, so they naturally become more curious and skilled at using it. But don’t let that stop you, Pandas — if you want to become a programmer, all you have to do is start.
