I guess you entered the industry after 2015? Even the most technical analysis like the Jepsen Reports which evaluated the technical claims of Cassandra DB etc used lots of memes between the technical bits. Presentations always had cat/dog pictures in them etc.

They always been, in different forms. I am glad to see them too, harmless and signal IQ/EQ, taking anything too seriously is not a good thing.

[leononame]

I also like seeing them. I know there are a lot of people who hate that, similar to cutesy error messages on web pages which I also happen to like.

But in no way does this signal IQ/EQ. It's just a personal preference

Weird that they have the panels mis ordered though

This is what happens when marketing gets its nasty hands on things, I assume.

> Oh, we have to put our brand on top.

Except, it ruins the whole meme.

Memes existed in technical docs for as long as technical people and docs existed.

Have you not looked up recursion in K&R? I believe even Google was in on the joke once.

If you search for recursion. Google asks did you mean recursion.
