I was a sysadmin for decades and I can confirm this is pretty accurate.

TIL I am a Project Manager.
Top left should be a clown, source I'm a developer.
As long as we can all agree users are the worst
I disagree. I am designer, project manager, QA, and Sysadmin at my small company, and I am the worst.
As a former sysadmin, this is correct.
As a current one I concur.
My dad’s a sysadmin, this is definitely correct.
Hi I'm a designer and this image is correct.
In my job, I put on all five of those hats in the same day.
For the last five years I'm been the one man show. There are only five sites and around a hundred and twenty machines. Really a low effort job truth be told. I've finally got rid of all the 'managed solutions' and things rarely break as a result.
And how do you see yourself?
I guess a corporate slave /s
No need for the /s brother. We are all wage slaves.

As a former sysadmin I agree with this chart
Sysadmin 4 Life.
As former QA I also agree with this chart.
As a designer who turned into a developer, had to do minor server stuff, manage my own freelance projects and debug it all…
I quit and started working in old cars and handyman stuff. Not a Luddite, but fuck marketing, temporarily organizing pixels, and spying on users for pennies.
As a current sysadmin I concur.
I love how designers are seen as infants twice (and a monkey once)
I have found they are the most likely to have lower computer literacy than they need to be for their job. It's not optional, no SysAdmin should have to babysit someone.
and as evil megalomaniac once
Sysadmins for the win!
Yup. It's perfect.
As a network admin, the sysadmins are a bunch of fucking monkeys.
As a Sysadmin the network admins are constantly breaking our comms, so fuck is both, right?
Don't be jealous just because we can do your job as well as our own.
even the AV guys can do network these days
Yeah they are great at getting the vlan access just right. Right?
juuuuuussstttttttt r- oh fuck its gone.
its always (m)DNS
The cleaning lady runs the network at our company.

As a former sysadmin, I approve this message.
This image is older than current CS students
My 2026 update after the industry wide layoffs over the past couple years and continues with ai over leveraged taking more down with it would be sysadmin replaced with DevOps, qa and designer replaced with developer, and throw some infosec theater on at the end.
Doesn't look like project managers come off good to anyone, then. Even themselves.
Cause their one good generative AI prompt from being replaced!
