Even though programming is something many people love—arguably even more people fear—it can get frustrating sometimes. When systems crash and things just don’t go the way they should, it can make even the calmest of people lose their patience.
Chances are many programmers can relate to the frustration of things not going right at work; those who do are likely to relate to posts on today’s list, too. While they focus more on programmer humor than programmer problems, sometimes the two go hand in hand, as some situations are so bad, it becomes funny.
If you enjoy a computer-themed meme here and there or tend to browse programmer-focused content, scroll down to find some entertaining material, as shared on the ‘Programmer Humor’ subreddit, and enjoy a hearty giggle.
If you’re interested in more than just programming, below is where you will also find Bored Panda’s interview with a seasoned specialist with over three decades of experience in IT, Trevor Paquette, who was kind enough to share his views on humor in the digital age.

why did he get it wrong? that's just programming in a nutshell, that's what you wanted dude
you forgot anglebrackets, aka greaterthan-lessthan signs, which we use in html.
I pledge all my web budget to this guy. Artisanal websites it is!
Of course if you have been coded correctly, hitting a PoopOverflow will fire an exception to handle the situation, returning to normal operation without requiring the program to explicitly handle PoopOverflows
It's not programming the task itself, that takes five minutes. It's the "idiot-proofing", which is of course futile.
Yep, just be nice. Saying RTFM to juniors just makes you look like a d**k.
"Hack on your laptop tonight. Get the extra libraries. Deploy to production at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty server. GoTo somewhere you’ve never been in the code. Read StackOverflow posts by someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the Docker container unhardened. Do a git merge. Have an unhandled exception. Have two. Be open to an IT department where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a coffee with them anyway. Debug slowly. Ping your server. Check in your code. Check in yourself. Enjoy the ride.”
While attending training at a Canadian software company the instructor draws a box in the corner of the white board. He said if you see a word that has an extra 'u' take it out and put it in the box. If you see a word that should have a 'u' take one from the box. It was all very civilized. Or, civilised. I forget which.
1000 line C++ program compiles to 1000 bytes. 10 line python program requires 1,000,000 bytes for the interpreter and required assets. C++ program runs 20 times faster
I actually miss the days when you could hack up a website by yourself in html. The sites were boring but you could actually see the d**n content.
Relate. This is the biggest reason why I prefer C/C++ programming. Compile/Link and Interpreter optimization can be reduced, changed from one type to another, or just turned off.
It's far less hot when you marry the artist and they're always drunk or high as are their friends and they're unable to help with the bills and they forget to shower.
Should call it deboner, for removing bones. A boner puts the bone in...
Will be taking a game design class in college here during fall semester for my associates of computer science degree. I expect something like this to happen. I have designed games before but nothing on the level of what we do today, advanced computers class in high school (in 01), my senior project i made a text based role playing game using qbasic (was the language we were learni g to use) and i dabbled in RPGmaker (from og version that was available on pc and ps1 up to rpgmaker nx)
Now if someone can just tell me how to get colours back for my Excel graphs. Apparently, it's totally impossible if I have the wrong operating system build.
It's possible this could sound scary to non-programmers. If anybody wants a Translation: "kill process" simply means to stop a program from running. A "child" (more correctly, a child process) is a program (process) that was launched by another already-running program. Child processes are a handy way for the first program to have work done by another program (child process), often to improve performance (usually speed) or to make it easier for the programmer(s) to write the overall software. The error message said out of memory, so stopping a child process frees up memory for the first programs to continue running, and should be written to be smart enough to continue without the child process. Killing the main program could cause the device to reboot, which is likely the only real remedy anyway.
Swap the 'Developer' label with 'Management' on the character and the final panel and you've got it. Or have a triumphant Developer Gru showing a final 'AI replaces Managers'
Calling it "ifnot" would be even clearer, less twee and contrived and require no more typing
