COBOL Programmer for Y2K

Text on the meme

WE NEED COBOL PROGRAMMERS FOR OUR MAINFRAME MILLENNIUM PROBLEM. IF YOU SEE ANYONE WHO LOOKS LIKE A COBOL PROGRAMMER, LET ME KNOW. TURN AROUND. ARE YOU A COBOL PROGRAMMER? NO, BUT I'M OFTEN TOLD I LOOK LIKE ONE. YOU'RE HIRED.

What it means

A three-panel comic shows a manager urgently seeking COBOL programmers for a mainframe millennium problem. He asks a dinosaur-like character whether he is a COBOL programmer, and hires him after hearing that he often looks like one. The joke is that COBOL is an old programming language, so the dinosaur visually represents an outdated programmer and the Y2K era.
