When people think about programmers, the image that pops into their head is probably a person who is hunched over a computer in a dark corner, relentlessly tapping away on the keyboard with no contact with the outside world. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. In reality, just like in any other industry, developers come from various backgrounds and have different personalities, making them a diverse group.  

To learn more about the day-to-day lives of programmers, we are once again visiting the Programmer Humor subreddit, which is full of jokes and memes perfectly capturing the chaos and struggles of this profession. Scroll down to find them, and don’t forget to check out a conversation with software engineers Evgeny Klimenchenko and Ben Grimwade from the UK, who kindly agreed to tell us more about programming humor.

Used to work in IT. Our most senior team member would always be shooting holes in any new idea. But he was always right. So our manager would just tell anyone who proposed changes to just let the senior have a look and if he doesn't kill your idea, it's a good one.

I can get on board with the DRM, permanent internet connection is kind of on a case by case basis.....the rest of it is nonsense. 2 gigs of ram was the standard 16 years ago, $100 PoS chromebook comes with 4 gigs, hell smartphones come standard with 8 gigs now. It's a waste of time, effort and money trying to optimize everything for every edge case...because it would likely entail either simply stripping features, or facilitating a "technical" compatibility that would end up taking so much time to process that it would simply be ignored anyway. Why should software developers spend 10's of thousands of dollars making their software worse on the basis that some users refuse to pony up $200 to buy a system made within the past 8 years? All kinds of ways to repurpose old hardware, doesn't mean you're entitled to demand compatibility with everything till the end of time.

This. Maybe we should come up with a law that everyone should have an access to a good free internet connection and a machine with at least 8gb of ram instead.

One more thing: if your website is just text, it shouldn't crash the Kindle web browser. Yes, it's c**p, but it's supposed to handle text well. If you have a kindle, try browsing standard websites. It's awful, isn't it? Now try Wikipedia or the stuff at the various small website groups - textonly.website, 1mb.club, 512kb.club, 250kb.club, et cetera. Breath of fresh air, isn't it?

    Because people are confident in their stupidity to the extent that they would rather inconvenience someone else than admit that they overlooked something obvious. If you don't know how to fix something and are asking for help....do exactly as you are told. If you can't manage to do that, be prepared to be treated as exactly what you are.

    Current startup idea: I partner with a few actual techy people. I, a normal human with no real tech skills, do various simple things (is it obviously fücked, if not turn it off and on again, if not...) and if that doesn't work give it to the tech people to fix. Basically just weed out these cases.

    That's because you aren't buying Apple branded peelers. I need to know that my peeler has all the latest Apple supported products behind it, so I don't mind buying a new $1000 dollar peeler every 6 months.

    Software engineer Evgeny Klimenchenko from the UK believes that the stereotype of programmers being antisocial and dull is quite misleading. 

    “Programmers often have a rich sense of humour that's often related to their line of work. Their jokes might be technical, but they're definitely there and can be quite witty. Because programmers' humour is quite technical and full of industry jargon, a lot of people don't understand it, and that leads to them believing that we don't have a sense of humour.”

    Alternate take: We turned something off and on again, and it fixed it. Only we did that from 15 billion miles away. NASA is awesome. Except for the whole cheerfully accepting Nazis part. (Seriously - read up on Operation Paperclip. The dubious award for worst goes to Arthur Rudolph, who admitted to the FBI he joined the Nazis, before they were in power, cause of DA COMMIES, and was categorized as '100% NAZI' by one person after WW2 who was checking him. He got a job at NASA. Only punishment, many years later, was that he had to move back to Germany. As far as I know he got to keep his retirement benefits. Mind you, this was for directing 'production' (slave labor) in a camp one person, the author of 'This New Ocean', about space history up to the nineties or so, said something along the lines of making fücking auschwitz look benign. dora-mittelbau was awful.

    Meanwhile, software engineer Ben Grimwade says, “As with any other group or industry, there are those that joke more and those that joke less. I personally feel that if you aren’t having fun and making jokes at work, you are missing out on life. We spend more time at work than with our families, so have fun doing it.”

    As Klimenchenko already mentioned, programming humor is quite niche, overflowing with industry jargon. “It often revolves around different programming languages, algorithms, and software quirks. Programmers love to poke fun at their own challenges and the absurdities they are faced with on a day-to-day basis. We also love our puns,” he fondly shares.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Grimwade adds that programming humor is generally quite dry and leans toward being more sarcastic than what you would find in other areas of life or even professions.

    Klimenchenko shares that the most popular ongoing inside joke among developers that reflects their struggles perfectly is “It works on my machine." He explains that it’s a good way to deflect a code that doesn’t run elsewhere. “Everyone understands that this is just a joke, and if it works on one machine, it should work on most.”

    This refers to the July 19, 2024 outage of all Crowdstrike services, that caused $5.4 billion in losses in what might be considered "the largest IT outage in history", all stemming from a single faulty software update pushed on a Friday afternoon (a big no-no). CrowdStrike supplies a security software called Falcon to thousand of companies. The software embeds itself into the Windows kernel, and the update made impossible to boot the PCs affected.

    Friday pushes are evil. If you've got a big upgrade, you set up staff on site and online from the minute you push until the qa team confirms you're good. I've done 72 hour stints.

    Here it is explained: Do the opposite of the second wish means to fulfill 3rd wish. However, you have to ignore the 1st wish, meaning the 3rd wish shouldn't have been fulfilled(as it reversed the 2nd wish allowing the 3rd wish to be fulfilled).

    My son used to write programs for different clients and he would ask me to Beta Test for him. Less than 1 minute i am messaging him with an error. His response, "Well, I never thought anyone would do that with it Mom!' It took a while but I eventually taught him to expect the unexpected. After two years he no longer needed my crashing skills.😁

    Grimwade additionally tells us that programmers love a good pun and often joke about the plethora of misunderstandings that happen with other departments. “Like the sales teams that sell software to clients telling the clients that we already have it (when we don’t), and then tell us to write it by the next day, or the product team who tell customers how the system should work and then tell us something different.”

    Incognito browsing only prevents your browser from recording your actions, not the servers you interact with. So if you Google something whilst in incognito mode, Google still records it.

    Not exactly. Incognito just stops the browser from writing cookies that live beyond their session, from caching content locally, and from storing your browser history on your device. It doesn't stop the browser from recording data at all. The browser can still record data and send it to google. Google does run all of the internet servers, so while those servers are still recording what your doing, google doesn't have access to those. Also, your ISP is also recording what your doing, as is your local router if you have one, but Google probably doesn't have access to that either. If you use a VPN, all of that traffic is routed through the VPN and encrypted, which will hide your activity from the router and ISPs, but not from your browser, which means Chrome can still record that and send it to google.

    Multi-threading is the hardest thing you can do on a computer. It's best to avoid it where-ever possible. If you are using it, your code should not have any side-effects, or you're going to get the error you see above. I've spent many years working on high concurrency systems, and the world has developed a c**p-ton of frameworks to assist you in this effort. Use those, and avoid spawning your own threads.

    That is the valuation if the startup is in San Fransisco. The exact same company with the exact same product and same developers started in New York is worth $200 million. Started in Chicago it's worth $100 million. Started in Philadelphia it's worth $500 thousand. Company valuations are purely based on perception, and not on reality. It's why Tesla is worth more than every other car manufacturer on Earth put together.

    My best do far is when my company decided to upgrade software they they were using, because the provided threatened they will stop supporting it. So we spent countless hours trying to upgrade several versions one by one (because we were too much behind to do a one single major upgrade). And then finally the new software in it's latest version has been installed. Icons in the menu changed. That's it.

    Not sure if it is still the case, but the version numbering went 1.0.2, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4then suddenly jumped to 5. So I suspect that technically it is 1.23. LOL

    Nah, 5 was still 1.5, and they kept this up through Java 8, which was actually 1.8. But with Java 9, they released it as 9.0.0. My project is currently running on Java 17, and my personal version is Java Temurin 17.0.7b7. We do try to keep up with the latest LTS release, but clearly we're skipping 21 as we just haven't had time. I think we'll just wait for Java 25 next year.

    Great code should also be aesthetically pleasing. When you see a good design, the variables are well named, the classes and packages are well organized. The build runs quickly, and dependencies are well managed. You're like "damn that s**t is sexy". I mean, I assume, I've never actually seen this happen.

    Uhm... no. It was not the free market, it was HER who willfully decided that doing TikToks and p*rn on OF is easier than working a factory job, an option that most machinist don't have btw. It was not "the free market" who opened an account self-describing as "semi-pro sl*t". An Aerospace Machinist makes on average $28/hr, that is on the higher end of most specialized blue collar jobs, she decided begging for $130k from her "simps" is a better use of her time. (all from a cursory glance at her twitter profile)

    I've worked with people like this. They are given calculations to make along with examples in the user story. I do the code review and they have not done the calculations at all, but instead hard coded the examples so it will pass testing. 🤦 They did not pass code review.

    Preach! My hardest job ever was working in a boiler room-like call center fulfilling orders for products shown on TV (mostly infomercials back when those were a thing), along with the occasional credit card application. That job made me temporarily hate the world. My hat goes off to everyone who works in the service industry, and fast food workers deserve so much of our respect as well as a living wage.

    I tell my junior devs. First, make it work. Then make it work fast. When I'm working on really large datasets, algorithm efficiency is much more important, but most developers don't really need to worry about it. In the case above... okay n!^2 is really bad, please fix that. Unless n is always less than 5, then let it slide.

    Do they actually take it, though? From what I've heard, truck drivers are incentivize for speed and penalized for anything that slow them down, including safety measures like "breaks", "peeing", and "a full night of sleep". I hope I'm wrong, but that's what I've heard. Maybe it depends what country you are in.

    I dont know of anywhere that requires thirty minutes every two hours. America requires thirty minutes every eight hours and it's loathsome for a variety of technical reasons that will require considerable math to fully explain. Summarized, though, the 30 minute break rule basically incentivizes you not to stop any other time, where in the old days we would stop as needed or wanted for whatever matters we valued. Now we try to conserve all our old 5 and 10 minute breaks into the one 30 minute one; which is too much time for a bathroom break but not enough to cook a meal in the truck; thus incentizing unhealthy fast food.... Sorry I'm tangenting again. The other problem is we frequently have 8.5/9 hour days in which point having to take an extra 30 minutes somewhere only pushes back our knock-off-and-be-done time later, thus decreasing the duration of our overnight rest break or delaying how early we can start the next morning. I hate the 30 minute break rule with a passion.

    GitHub is only the interface to git. So if #2 is "Can GitHub roll back using Git to fix GitHub if GitHub crashes", the answer is yes. If it's "Can GitHub roll back using Git to fix GitHub if Git crashes", then the answer is no.

    I don't feel like working my way through all of it, but the last function that would run (the first one typed, "chr") gets an ascii character from a number. So this must be an extended ascii symbol (or at least, python thinks it is), and the rest must return its code.
