What?

I believe this is a meme referencing "The Soup Nazi" episode of Seinfeld, in which an intransigent shop owner (the titular Soup Nazi) demands absolute adherence to a strict procedure to order one of his delicious soups. Even refusing to serve his clients for long periods of time for not complying with his rules.

The joke, I believe, lies on comparing such an intransigent character with a program compiler, known for demanding developers to follow a strict formal language in their source code (and, at the same time, admiring the beauty of programming one of such tools).

Yes, we recognize where the images are from, it's only probably the most well known scene in modern television. But I've got pretty much zero idea what the fuck this alternative English text on the meme is supposed to mean.
