How to Fake Being a Programmer

Text on the meme

How to fake being a programmer: ‘haha Windows is bad’ ‘php is more like phpepsi’ ‘when you were 12 I was coding in basic’ ‘I’m not like other programmers’ ‘Stackoverflow comes to me for help’ ‘I don’t use an IDE because word 2007 has all the functionality I need’

What it means

A tweet-style meme lists stereotypical phrases that someone might use to pretend they are an experienced programmer. The punchline is that these claims, especially relying on Microsoft Word instead of an IDE, reveal a lack of programming knowledge. It can be sent to a friend jokingly when they make exaggerated or performative tech claims.
