A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I wrote a TV guide app for Blackberry many years ago, and for the parts of the grid where the data had not yet downloaded, I drew (in code) a light checkerboard background like this. Got into a long-running argument with my company's UX guy over it because he said it was a visual element that implied transparency when there wasn't actually any transparency. So pointless - it wasn't an app for image manipulation in the first place. I gave the darker squares a light blue tint and he left me alone, and then Blackberry died a quick death anyway.
The moral of the story is one that I took to heart for all my future mobile development: nothing matters, just go home and smoke another bowl.
Some real wisdom in this one.
Eh I’d agree with the UX guy. We get away with a lot flexibility in software dev that we can’t in other engineering, like mechanical or civil
