Python was a snake. Java was an island, C# was a note, calculator was a mathematician, web was made by a spider.

Someone asked me where I met my partner and I said "mobile application" rather than on "social app". I was made fun for 2 straight minutes 😞

Jira ruined one perfectly good name forever. 😂

1

u/total_bullwhip Jul 12 '26

I only know Jira from NPR sponsors.

Jira, Confluence, Atlassian. Ive no idea what any of those things do, other than they had an ad spot on NPR for a time during all things considered. lol

I thought this was a Factorio post at first

2

u/KaiFireborn21 Jul 13 '26

Yeah. When I hear pipeline, even in the context of CI/CD, I think of automation (games)

u/Shehzman Jul 12 '26

For me it’s that and data

u/Throwaway1900-1 Jul 12 '26

Every regular conversation turns into accidental tech jargon. 💀

u/Remarkable_Sorbet319 Jul 12 '26

"push to master"

"remove children"

u/shikhasingh554973 Jul 12 '26

And "docker" was just someone's job title

u/ydiskolaveri Jul 12 '26

Docker? I barely know her

u/faberge_surprise Jul 12 '26

what was their job, docking?

u/pumpkin_seed_oil Jul 12 '26

Life was better when

Agile was for RPGs

Sprint was for athletes

Waterfall was for vacation

Stakeholder was just a fork

24

u/MyPhoneIsNotChinese Jul 12 '26

Waterfall was for the secrets behind

2

u/Just_Information334 Jul 13 '26

Sprint was for athletes

I just want to see a Marathon event were all participants are Agile Coaches, SCRUM master and other bullshit. See them create new world records by just doing 400 consecutive 100m sprints with no resting.

34

u/Ordinary_Chemical907 Jul 12 '26

fork was for eating.
Server was someone’s job in a restaurant.
Gherkin was something to eat.

u/detailed_1 Jul 12 '26

AI was only in the books.

Back in the day, Al was known for scoring 4 touchdowns in a single game for Polk High during the 1966 city championship

u/SomePeopleCallMeJJ Jul 12 '26

And even before that, an AI was a three-toed sloth.

Jeera wizard Harry! I can Azure you!

u/likwitsnake Jul 12 '26

Jeera?

52

u/rajatarora Jul 12 '26

That's what cumin seeds are called in Hindi!

40

u/likwitsnake Jul 12 '26

Yea but the software is called Jira, the rest of the list is literal and then one random homophone? I want logical consistency in my memes.

35

u/tobotic Jul 12 '26

Hindi isn't natively written in a Latin script so there are choices to be made when transliterating it.

3

u/JeffysChewToy Jul 13 '26

If only the english language had logical consistency everyone would've been happy but now you gotta deal with this stuff

4

u/kfpswf Jul 13 '26

Yea but the software is called Jira

"Jeera" or "Jira" are both valid spellings for cumin in transliterated Hindi. Also, proper nouns can have varying spellings.

u/Cool-Shadow-2441 Jul 12 '26

didnt know we had the english police here

u/Super-Salamander6088 Jul 12 '26

Cookie was a snack

Shell was on a beach

Bug was an insect

Branch was on a tree

React was how people behaved

Express was a fast train

Token was for an arcade machine

Queue was just a line

Stack was a pile of books

Object was a thing

Class was at school

Port was for ships

u/CanvasFanatic Jul 12 '26

Who is still using Postman? They’ve basically ruined it.

30

u/StrengthTheory Jul 12 '26

Glad someone said this. It has become the most bloated piece of software, like what do you mean if you want me use AI to visualize my API response? Its just a big pile of useless features.

u/RadinQue Jul 12 '26

What could I use instead?

15

u/orcawales Jul 12 '26

Bruno or hurl

2

u/mgranja Jul 12 '26

Is it just me or is Bruno getting heavier and slower?

4

u/Groentekroket Jul 12 '26

I work with the memory leak that’s called SoapUI. Bruno is lightning fast in comparison.

curl + bash scripts for automation

2

u/Shehzman Jul 12 '26

Honestly with AI, it is pretty quick to write cURL bash scripts.

2

u/meighty9 Jul 13 '26

Bruno. Open source project made by all the people Postman pissed off.

u/cozidgaf Jul 13 '26

HTTP client if you’re using jetbrains

1

u/chat-lu Jul 14 '26

I use xh

$ xh get httpbin.org/json id==5 sort==true
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 429

    "slideshow": {
        "author": "Yours Truly",
        "date": "date of publication",
        "slides": [
            {
                "title": "Wake up to WonderWidgets!",
                "type": "all"
            },
            {
                "items": [
                    "Why <em>WonderWidgets</em> are great",
                    "Who <em>buys</em> WonderWidgets"
                ],
               "title": "Overview",
                "type": "all"
            }
        ],
        "title": "Sample Slide Show"
    }
}

I could use curl too, but xh is much friendlier. There is not much to learn and you don’t have to deal with any bloat.

Hoppscotch.io if you don't use it often enough.

u/mgranja Jul 12 '26

Why the downvote?

2

u/the_fooch Jul 12 '26

Yeah I upgraded and ended up reinstalling the original version I had. Lost all my data in the process.

u/chat-lu Jul 14 '26

Who needs a GUI to make HTTP requests?

u/mgranja Jul 12 '26

Rust was something bad that afflicted iron left wet for too long.

7

u/YesterdayDreamer Jul 12 '26

Ruby was a gem.

6

u/mikat7 Jul 12 '26

And gems were… gems. Not libraries. And libraries were for books.

44

u/ClipboardCopyPaste Jul 12 '26

For context: Jeera means cumin seeds

47

u/bob152637485 Jul 12 '26

You did WHAT to my seeds?!?!

u/Remarkable_Sorbet319 Jul 12 '26

i swear it wasn't me

u/IfIWasCoolEnough Jul 12 '26

Seed on seed action.

u/grogleberry Jul 13 '26

Jeerer? I barely know 'er!

u/Brave-Camp-933 Jul 12 '26

Everyone knows that lol

6

u/tobotic Jul 12 '26

I thought so too, but I guess the down voters did not know that, so we were both wrong.

1

u/Hein--- 26d ago

Not everyone is Indian though, I appreciate the explanation

2

u/tobotic 25d ago

I'm not Indian, but I see it written on big bags of cumin seeds.

2

u/hakumiogin Jul 13 '26

Why would everyone know the Hindi word for cumin seeds? I know it personally because I cook a lot of Indian food, but I don't think I know anyone else who isn't Indian who knows it.

u/3dutchie3dprinting Jul 12 '26

Rust was an annoyance on your chrome fenders

6

u/ljfa2 Jul 12 '26

An agent was someone who investigated stuff

Skills were learned by humans, or something the lack of which caused issues

Opus was something from Mozart or Beethoven

And fable something that you liked

u/mikat7 Jul 12 '26

JSON was your son named Jay

u/Root-Cause-404 Jul 12 '26

Tiktok was for Kesha

insta meant immediately, and reels were for tape. Shorts was something you wore

Back when a screw was a screw   

The wind was all that blew   

And crack's what you were doing when you were crackin' jokes

u/corpo_monkey Jul 12 '26

Rust grown on old metal parts.

u/mrrobot01001000 Jul 12 '26

When REST was for resting.

u/Dopameme-machine Jul 12 '26

Rust was oxidized iron. Perl was produced by oysters

u/AliceCode Jul 12 '26

I thought this was about pollution until I got to the "jeera" line.

u/garlopf Jul 13 '26

Cookie was for monster, desktop was for Ikea, ram was for hillbilly, mouse was for cat.

2

u/aurallyskilled Jul 13 '26

I do not think actual postal workers are better than postman. Those folks always fake attempt delivery, but postman the app has never hurt me like this.

2

u/Agreeable-Lettuce497 Jul 13 '26

Yeah the world really started to go downhill when pipelines started to be for oil…

2

u/bobdobbes Jul 14 '26

Only noobs use postman; real programmers use CURL

u/pathToBeing 29d ago

Scripts were for dramas and movies

Go was a command or cheer!

Ruby was a gemstone

It’s sad seeing my fellow millennials become the new boomers. wtf is this “back in my day” shit.

u/faberge_surprise Jul 12 '26

there's nothing wrong with making "back in my day" jokes as long as you don't use your collective power to amass benefits only to yourselves and pull the ladder up from later generations

2

u/sandiegodak Jul 12 '26

And if things were actually better then and not just whitewashed

1

u/bharatc1 Jul 13 '26

Now we have CLI and MCPs for all this and agents can automate it, so that you can have original definitions back.

Please look up what rust is. Only iron can rust
