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!
Been in IT for nearly 30 years and completely agree :)

THIS. I'm not even a programmer but I intend to be as low-tech as possible in my everyday life. All kinds of safe and useful technologies had already been invented by 2005. We can live very well without all the intrusive and expensive connected crap that was released ever since.
I meet all these except Alexa - I do have an echo in my kitchen which I use just for my shopping list - it's difficult to write out a shopping list while in the middle of cooking (see "Why Programmers like Cooking" above).
ROFL my hubby is a CS Professor and I am a former Computer Support, current eLearning developer. we like our technology but we won't do certain things internet-connected due to the risk of hacking LOL
Was married to an IT specialist. In the final year of marriage, I came home to lights that only operated off of a phone app. The thermostats were touch screen - that I didn't mind - but having alexa control them meant that they had to be named something specific so he decided to screw up the names. I hated that. He also made it so that I had to request specific websites be made available. I hate the amount of control someone else can have over you when it's not your house. And this was my house.
Yep. My thermostat is smart home capable and I completely ignore those features.
We're old. We have no tech gadgets running our house. And we're doing just fine.
Imagine coming home after a weekend out to discover that your smart house downloaded OS upgrade and now is incompatible with your smart door locks. After you somehow manage to break in, you find out that smart fridge is now incompatible too and has been thawing since Friday.
My printer is from 1989, and my 'home automation' is X10 circa 1979. I have no security worries at all.
All this smart home crap is for lazy or dumb people. Nowadays young people can't shop, cook, drive a car or just set a thermostat (with a timer) anymore, let alone screw in a different light bulb. Yet they can command others to do it for them, take pictures of themselves all day long and take planes everywhere. Prove me wrong... ;-)
No, it's because we actually understand the things. Believe me, if we thought that they would make things easier for us without the high number of vulnerabilities, we would buy them in a heartbeat. I'm not sure how old you are to come to this 'ok boomer' conclusion, but I'm certainly not 'aging' or 'old' at 28.

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.

Why Programmers Like Cooking
And some random assortment of the carrot pieces don't suddenly become NULL...
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.

What Was The Previous Electrician Thinking
C++ Cheater
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.

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.

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.
