  I also like seeing them. I know there are a lot of people who hate that, similar to cutesy error messages on web pages which I also happen to like. But in no way does this signal IQ/EQ. It's just a personal preference

Even the most technical analysis like the Jepsen Reports which evaluated the technical claims of Cassandra DB etc used lots of memes between the technical bits. Presentations always had cat/dog pictures in them etc.
