Because I know nothing about programming, the fact that the internet works at all is absolute magic to me. But I know deep down that there aren’t little fairies behind the curtain pulling strings or a unicorn making this webpage load. There are millions of people around the world sitting at their desks working tirelessly to ensure that their code is written correctly.

If you happen to be one of these programmers or you’re beginning to learn programming yourself, first of all, we thank you for your service. And we present you with a list of hilarious and painfully relatable programming memes. We took a trip to the Coding Tech Facebook page, as well as a few other sources around the web, to curate this list of memes. So enjoy scrolling through, and be sure to upvote the pics you find extremely accurate!
