Yes, I know you've seen it before.
But lets go deeper than how funny it is.
I love coding! But the life of a coder is not all that good. So here's a guy who could choose anything to do for food. In America, the government will pay him not to work. But he is such a dedicated coder (I know it's a gag pic, but use your abstract thinking. Imagine...) that he will write code for free just so long as he gets fed and has the fun of coding.
So one of my take homes from this is that if you don't love coding, get out. There are fun things to do in the world for each person. If yours isn't coding, find something that you do love. Life is too short to do anything less.
Also, looking at this guy, can't you just see the bad times. Bad times come and bad times go. I remember salaries and rates being cut in half a few years back. But like this guy, I worked right through it. I never slowed down.
So I keep this picture on the wall beside my work desk. And when I get tired I refresh myself by considering the messages in the picture.
I hope your coding goes well,
