35 Jokes That Programmers Will Definitely Relate To, As Shared In This Online Group
A big portion of the miscellaneous cake we call the Earth is sitting in front of their computer screens at this very moment. The pandemic life has made us all largely dependent on computers, electronics, and whatnot.
And while some of us are still sorting out how not to turn up as a cat for your next Zoom meeting, others are totally nailing their inner tech nerds with Starcraft benders.
So this seems like the perfect moment to introduce you to a comedy genre in its own right called Programmer Humor. In fact, there’s a whole powerhouse on Reddit dedicated entirely to that—"humor and jokes relating to programmers and programming.”
Sounds niche? Well, I wouldn't be so sure. 1.4 million members are totally swearing by humorous puns, jokes, and memes that feature everything from coding, cookies, browsers, IT depts, CSS, Java, Python, and you name it.

For a big part of the population, the IT world ends with the system update on your computer screen. You press ‘agree’ and go about the rest of the day. But sometimes, the programming world trolls us big time, like Samsung, who accidentally sent out a mystery alert to thousands of devices yesterday night.
People reacted immediately, claiming the alert woke them up and wanting to find out what it was all about. After all, getting a ‘1’ notification looks very suspicious indeed.
But Samsung isn’t the first company to send out bizarre notifications to a wide audience of clients. Last year, OnePlus accidentally did the same by sending odd text in Chinese characters, which turned out to be an internal test for a software update (and which obviously failed).
Programmers Know The Risks Involved!
Whats The Best Thing You've Found In Code?
Samsung has issued a statement on Twitter saying: “Recently, a notification about “Find My Mobile 1” occurred on a limited number of Galaxy devices. This was sent unintentionally during an internal test and there is no effect on your device. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our customers.”
As you can imagine, the incident was already picked up by people online as it fueled a fresh burst of jokes and memes.
Such instances show a couple of things. First, accidents do happen. Second, even though Samsung claimed it won’t affect any device that received it, that doesn’t mean it’s not scary. Everyone’s on edge with the pandemic blues already, and such accidental stunts are doing more harm than good.
After we all had a good laugh, it’s up to programmers to clean up the whole mess. Because if there’s a code, there’s a bug, and the two won’t live without one another.

Not all technical bugs come and go, and some of them have taught us valuable lessons, sadly, at the cost of innocent people—like the Therac-25 disaster that occurred with the Therac-25 radiation therapy machine. It was produced by Atomic Energy of Canada, but caused accidental radiation overdoses. As a result, it killed six patients.

The Therac-25 case’s investigation showed that poor software and insufficient system development caused the malfunctioning of the system. These could have been caused because there were difficulties in performing automated software tests.
Nancy Leveson, an expert who investigated the case, found that inexperienced coders created buggy software. Moreover, it’s speculated that a sole programmer was in charge of creating the software which they based on code from the Therac-6 and Therac-20. It’s thought that the tragedy was really down to human error, which makes it all the more devastating.

This hits waaay to close to home. I had a problem where i had to always run ubuntu as root and had a question, everyone kept saying "you should never run ubuntu as root" instead of answering the damn question. I get it, it's not secure, that's not what i'm asking you, god damn it! Not every project running ubuntu is going to be online, not every project running ubuntu is going to have retards accessing it. I just wanted root access so i could run an overlay on top that no one would ever be able to get out unless they know what they are doing on an offline computer. just. give.me.root.

Just Google It
I thought I was pretty good at google searching (until maybe ~5yrs ago?), then the algos changed, which might be great for the 98% of casual searches, but when I search something old and all i get is 4 pages of results with the same 4 or 5 sites with the same item from last month, which might faintly sound like what I'm looking for, it's sad. Or maybe they just deleted all the information I know was there 10 years ago.

It is funny, because it is true. I very often comment ancient code. Because after year or so .. I start to forget original thoughts, but I am still able to recognize meaning/problem/process from "outside person" view. Because .. there is NOTHING like "abanonded" or "finished" code. If it is "mystery code" .. than probablity you will need to understand that .. increases exponentially (law of universe).

99 little bugs in the code, 99 little bugs, Take one down, Turn it around, 124 little the code...
in every job I had, I invested the time to make many tasks simpler and more accurate; sometimes it was simple queries, others it was spreadsheets, but that early time reaped many hours of dividends later when those weekly or monthly tasks needed to be done; I wouldn't do anything differently today
Almost one year since i started learning how to program...I still cant do s**t on my own
I've been doing it since 1997, and I still ask for help regularly from other people who know about some areas than I do. And they ask me for help. Keep at it.
Load More Replies...Couldn't read the whole thing. Too many posts were for the ones in the know (programmers) and it's annoying to feel dumb after a while.
TBH same, but all you gotta do is use context and learn! Maybe even do what the devs do and google it all up! Once you do that, it should make sense.
Load More Replies...Program in Machine Code: you will learn the meaning of anger, when you transpose a 1 with a 0, and the whole code has to be scraped and started again, because you accidentally created a Super Virus. My experimental code computer, WILL NEVER be connected to the Internet...
