@SheHacksPurple not sure it is my favourite and it is not a meme, but xkcd 936 is something I have used often.

@mr2fa @SheHacksPurple Damn, gotta invest in martial arts classes as well
@mr2fa πŸ’―πŸ’―πŸ’―πŸ’―πŸ’―
@mr2fa @SheHacksPurple This is why I hate when websites have password requirements like "must contain two numbers and two symbols, but only these five symbols are allowed, and must be between 12 and 20 characters, at least one uppercase and one lowercase letter." Makes it harder for me to remember while also adding constraints that *decrease* the potential number of strings.

@Jumpmed @SheHacksPurple remember? Why remember? Use a password manager!!

Or better yet, use passkeys :-)

@SheHacksPurple @catsalad Going on almost 30 years, and I’m not a gardener yet. πŸ˜…
@ramsey @SheHacksPurple @catsalad I was going to say this applies equally to other languages… but it’s not the languages, it’s the employers that are the problem πŸ˜†
@SheHacksPurple does this comic have a old man version with lawn care? Asking for a friend.
@SheHacksPurple best IT career path and usecase for PHP so far
@SheHacksPurple I'm staring longingly at the garden right now
@SheHacksPurple i know why i only do php if i am paid the masochistic surcharge - never on my own 😈
@SheHacksPurple Wow, that is almost me. The difference are
1. Spent twenty odd years as a developer (Learnt C++ / C#)
2. Changed jobs, as feeling a bit burnt out.
3. Made redundant.
4. Worked with my brother in-law, for a week, doing landscape gardening.
@SheHacksPurple Oh no, step 4 is going to call the whole comic, it's going to overflow!!
@SheHacksPurple can also swap in "python & kubernetes" in step 1; whatever you have on hand should work!
