Programmers should stop celebrating incompetence

I enjoy this kind of idiotic humor, especially after spending hours hunting down something that can be fixed by changing a single byte.. But the reason I think they&#x27;re funny is not because they&#x27;re true, but because they&#x27;re not, because even though it FEELS like you&#x27;re an idiot some times, especially when you&#x27;ve found the solution, you know that it took a great deal of skill<p>But I&#x27;ve seen it cause real damage as well, in those who are truly incompetent, they don&#x27;t recognize that these memes are supposed to be ironic or sarcastic, and take them at face value for &quot;nobody else knows what they&#x27;re doing either!&quot;, this leads them to never recognize just how far they are from being useful, then they start blaming everything else instead.

This is a great piece. Idiotic memes have a corrosive effect, largely unseen until it is too late.
