What it means

A two-panel comparison shows stylish young people coding in C during college, contrasted with exhausted, disheveled colleagues coding in C at a corporate job. The joke is that professional programming has made them look worn out and miserable, with Monster energy drinks implying burnout and overwork. It is used as a relatable reaction to corporate life and declining work conditions.
