Stop Maintaining Software
STOP MAINTAINING SOFTWARE • YEARS of SEMANTIC VERSIONING and yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for going higher than v1.0 • Wanted more features anyway, for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "PLUGINS" • "Yes please update to version 37.0.0.69.march2023.jaguar or above. Please backport security patches to the LTS release" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged LOOK at what Software Engineers have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the build systems and dependencies we built for them (This is REAL Software, made by REAL Developers): Preparing to configure Windows Don't turn off your computer ????? macOS Big Sur 11.6 — 12.43 GB More Info... ???????

"Hello I would like to install updates please" They have played us for absolute fools
The meme sarcastically attacks software engineers and maintainers for creating complicated update systems, dependencies, plugins, and version numbers. It contrasts their demands for sophisticated software maintenance with absurdly confusing update screens from Windows, macOS, and a Linux package manager. The punchline is that ordinary users politely asking for updates are being treated like fools by these chaotic systems.
