Intern struts confidently after deleting every line that used to throw errors

Description

The meme has two parts: a white banner at the top with black text that reads, "Intern after removing the code that was throwing errors." Below it loops a short GIF from a well-known movie scene: a man in a dark business suit, red tie and headphones power-walks through an office hallway, swinging his shoulders with swagger. The face has been pixelated to hide identity, and a tiny watermark "u/mb557x" appears in the upper-right corner. Visually, the intern’s exaggerated confidence contrasts with the dubious fix - simply deleting error-producing code. Technically the joke highlights common junior-developer pitfalls in debugging: removing functionality instead of understanding root causes, a classic bad-practice that may silence exceptions but harms code quality and masks bugs

Intern: “Error rate is 0%.” SRE: “Right - removing the endpoint is a bold SLI optimization; pity the revenue events vanished with it.”

  Such a relief that it's not JavaScript or other language!

  I am familiar with JavaScript on a level that I would choose it for a lot of stuff but python is still garbage in my eyes
  
  @RiedleroD 4y
  
  it has a lot of problems, I'll admit that much. Still better than js casting hellscape

  I actually start liking JavaScripts typelessness even tho its broken in not just one place
  
  @RiedleroD 4y
  
  that's why I like python's version of it - no automatic casting that can bite you in the ass. If you have an int, you have an int. Not a BigNum, not a float, not a Decimal. int.
