Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
In a (rare for me) defense of Boomers, goddamn, the one dude I knew who learned COBOL on his GI Bill out of Vietnam...
that man was a fucking wizard.
He actually cackled to me when he told me how C Suite knew he was retiring in 6 months, they were not planning on hiring a replacement for him... he was planning on being hired back as a contractor within 2 years, seeing as he personally built the company's entire transaction accounting payroll and billing systems in the mid 70s, and no one else had any idea how any of it worked.
... For an international logistics company, with over 100 offices all over the world.
But yes, the rest of the Boomers csn go back to Minions memes and being catfished by AI Brad Pitt or whatever it is they do these days on the 'puter.
We often forget that half the boomers were the hippies, pioneers of the Internet, and activist that got the civil rights act passed.
Half the boomers were absolutely not hippies.
