TranscriptionThe stepping vs jumping on a rake meme, showing a stock image render of a person stepping on a rake and having it smack them in the face on top, and an image of a man doing a skateboard trick with a rake below, also landing on it.

The man stepping on a rake is captioned "programming for the first time".

The man performing a trick with the rake is captioned "programming for the hundredth time".

I think you need to mention that the bottom guy also gets whacked by the rake after rail sliding it and landing on it; landing on a rake doesn't imply being brained by it

That's a pretty good point. For these standard template memes I usually go to Know Your Meme and copy/paste the relevant section of their description. In this case it looks like they said "also landing on it", which I think is supposed to get across the same idea, but it does seem easy to read that without getting the intended idea.
