Probably not. Too many "normies" I would guess.

What’s a normie?

Normal people of meager living?

I’m being told that people are apparently tweeting “learn to code” at hedge fund managers.

I'm gonna look awkward if you know, but if you need the context, "learn to code" is a meme in itself a long while back.

Several months later, in April 2014, in response to a comment by Mark Zuckerberg about shifts in energy use that has led to many coal mines being closed and coal miners behind laid off, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg at the Future of Energy Summit said, "You’re not going to teach a coal miner to code. Mark Zuckerberg says you teach them [people] to code and everything will be great."

Over the next year, other media outlets published pieces on coal miners learning to code. On November 18th, 2015, Wired published, "Can You Teach a Coal Miner to Code?" The article, which took issue with Bloomberg's assertion, focused on several coal miners who were, in fact, learning to code.

On January 24th, 2019, Jalopnik editor-in-chief Patrick George tweeted he believed in a "special, dedicated section of Hell" for people with anime profile pictures who tweet "learn to code" to journalists who had been laid off (shown below). Within 24 hours, the tweet gained over 1,300 likes and 260 retweets. The tweet was posted shortly after the announcements that BuzzFeed laid of 15% of its staff and The Huffington Post had eliminated its Opinion and Healthcare editorial sections.

Their words, not mine!

Basically, yep. If hedge funding is no longer your job, time to tame the Python.

I’m sensing some underlying hostility.

Tbh, it was implied anyway.

yeah the whole learn to code incident is hillarious, it was ok to berate coal miners and tell them to code, but when people threw those words back at journos, they got suspended from twitter. its the same kind of HEY ONLY I GET TO DO THAT MODS, HELP attitude we are seeing right now

A few others said they just needed to "Tighten their belts and skip their Javas and avacado toast and they'll be fine" I've also seen a lot pulling up by bootstraps too.

After all, the system is just working as designed.

That this meme could actually be real and pay off is something I wasn't expecting. I now have the very real prospect of securing my family much sooner than I expected. This is actually...I don't have words to be honest. I'm both ecstatic and also humbled. It's confusing as fuck but in 2020 my family had an incredibly shit year. I lost my father in law. A cousin of mine was murdered. I got fired for being sick. My mom was diagnosed with cancer (she's beat it now though but still). And now this enters my life as a bright shining light.

Forget "go back in time and buy Apple" now it's "Go back in time and buy Gamestop".

As a stranger from across the internet, I am so sorry to hear that. I know it's easier said than done, but I do hope things are looking up for you.

All the best, and I hope you really get that money you need.
