Squidward Tentacles meme format. Top panel shows Squidward looking happy while setting up a beach chair, with the text 'WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO AN OPEN SOURCE PROJECT I USE AND APPRECIATE'. Bottom panel shows Squidward looking sad and disappointed, folding up the chair and going back inside a building, with the text 'WRITTEN IN JS'.
