To those uninitiated in the intricacies of programming, things can be both very complicated and very simple at the same time. On the one hand, the fact that these machines we rely on can do all these different tricks seems like something close to witchcraft. On the other, it's kind of wild how there has to be so many different programming languages and components to make everything work (or refuse to run, if you've managed to make enough mistakes). It could be argued that this dilemma is perfectly represented in programming memes. They realize the methodical magic involved but also acknowledge the mundane frustration it takes to make it happen. It's the kind of thing that requires a sense of humor to get through, so it's no surprise that plenty of this can be found on the internet, and down below. It takes a lot to make computers work the way we want them to.
