For when you need a laugh!
The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

T-shape is supposed to indicate expertise in one thing (the post of the T) and capability in everything else (the crossbar)
It's popular in software build, where everyone will be specialised in analysis/design or build or test, but everyone can do simple tasks in any of those.
It ignores the fact that some people find some parts of a group's work repulsive while others find those the best thing.
It ignores that what makes a person good at one thing makes them bad at another
Humans do well with specialisation. A jack of all trades is master of none.
You need specialisation to build expertise in parts of complex systems
