“Lazy Programmer started as a fun way to share the everyday struggles and inside jokes of IT professionals,” Arturas says. ”It was meant to be a side project, but the engagement and love from the community turned it into something much bigger.”

“Watching it grow has been incredible - seeing how many people relate to the memes and discussions proves that tech folks share a universal experience,” the creator continued.

We also asked Arturas about the best and worst aspects of working in the tech industry. When it comes to his favorite part, he noted the constant innovation. “There’s always something new to learn, and the ability to build and create things that impact the world is exciting."

On the other hand, Arturas says his least favorite aspects of the tech industry are burnout culture and unrealistic expectations. “Many developers face long hours and high-pressure environments, which can be exhausting. That’s why humor is so important - it keeps us sane!” he told Bored Panda.

On that note, we were curious how maintaining a sense of humor can benefit those in tech. “The tech world is fast-paced, high-pressure, and often unpredictable. Humor is what keeps us grounded,” Arturas says. “It helps developers cope with imposter syndrome, debugging nightmares, and the infamous ‘it works on my machine’ moments. A good laugh can turn a frustrating day into something bearable.”

And how does the Lazy Programmer decide what to share on his account? “I choose memes based on what’s most relatable to developers. If it makes me laugh and think, ‘Yeah, that happens way too often,’ I know the community will enjoy it too,” he says. “One of my favorites is the classic ‘I’ll just fix this one bug… 6 hours later’ - because every programmer has been there.”
