Not quite. It's a reference to fig wasps. They pollinate certain types of figs but can get stuck inside of/digested by the fruit as it forms in the process. On the diagram, the wasps incorrectly assumed something was a date (fruit) and landed on it presuming safety, but it was actually a fig so now are in the process of dying as they're slowly eaten by the fruit, hence "the dying gasps of wasps". It's a super obscure reference.
I once had to have a Skype call with a Google Docs extension dev because I broke their extension somehow. Lmao
They couldn't even tell me how they fixed it, they just fucked with it til it worked. I was using a spread sheet to keep track of Dr's appointments for a group home, but wanted to automatically export it to an individual's Google Calendar. I can't remember what was broken, but they ended up having to put in some crazy formula to get it to work correctly, when it should have been a pretty easy function.

A reference to WASPs (White Anglo Saxon Protestants), I guess since the incel and white supremacist movements overlap somewhat.

I like it, but is it programmer humor?
Edit: typos

For those that think putting anything in excel more complicated than =total(a1:a10) is programming

If you mistake a fig for a date and vice versa, you haven’t tasted any. Hold on…..

There's a pun with date and fig, so the person eats a fig but thinks it's a date.
