30 Memes And Jokes About Everything Programming And Computer Science (New Pics)
Interview With Expert
The coding and programming world is truly fascinating. Did you know that the internet is basically built on zeros and ones? All of the data online is converted into these two numbers so computers can understand them (they’re not really that smart, are they?). Considering the wastness of the internet, you can imagine just how many ones and zeros it requires. Luckily, we have amazing software professionals on our side that take care of it for us.
To thank them for making our lives easier, we prepared a list of computer science memes that might help to refresh their caffeine-induced minds, courtesy of the ‘Programmer Humor’ subreddit. Scroll down to find them below, and make sure to upvote the ones that capture the essence of this profession perfectly.
While you're at it, don't forget to check out a conversation with the founder of Jimmy Thakkar, Ashish Thakkar, an expert in website design, artificial intelligence, and search engine optimization, who kindly agreed to chat with us more about his profession.

The founder of Jimmy Thakkar, Ashish Thakkar, an expert in website design, artificial intelligence, and search engine optimization, tells Bored Panda that he's been in the business of software development for over 20 years. Currently, his focus has shifted more to AI development to help create AI software for various industries.
Even though Thakkar has successfully worked in this profession for more than two decades, he never imagined he would end up here.

And this is also why we have warnings on electrical appliances to not use them in the shower or while asleep. 😒

"I'm not able to reproduce this on my machine" is my favourite one to buy me some time to investigate further.

"I started my career as a website designer and then gradually moved towards software development," he shared.
"I started with Java programming and then moved towards Visual Basic, which I learnt under a software developer who worked as a colleague. I had no interest in programming languages or computers in school, so I had never thought that I would end up in this field."
Since he has spent so much time in this industry, we were curious to know more about it, specifically, what the day-to-day of software developers looks like.
"My job involves writing code for software, testing it out thoroughly before compiling and deploying the software," he said.
The schedule of Thakkar's day looks a little bit like this:
- Writing code for software: Half of the time goes to stackoverflow.com and github.com.
- Testing and debugging.
- Reading newsletters and forums.
"You need to keep updating your knowledge on a regular basis, especially since AI is moving at such a fast pace that if you skip out on it for a week, then you feel you’re ancient," he said.

It's no secret that Thakkar's profession to this day is surrounded by stereotypes and misconceptions, so we were curious to know which ones he would like to debunk.
"People always imagine developers as people who burn the midnight oil in front of a black screen, typing lines and lines of code. There is a lot more than that. Communication skills and problem-solving skills are the two most underrated qualities of any software developer," he explained.
Another misconception Thakkar mentions is people believing that all programmers are geeks. "This is not true; some have a gym-toned physique who play semi-competitive football and kick a*s at other contact sports (are also standing 6-foot-1 inch in height and are single)."
The last stereotype he addressed is people assuming software developers/programmers are good with numbers. "Although it is definitely an advantage, not all software developers are good at math," he said.

I can't tell you how many times I've done a blame to see who wrote the garbage code I'm looking at only to find out it was me. I write the garbage code...
We, of course, couldn't let Thakkar go without asking for some industry-specific inside jokes that reflect some struggles of the profession to get an even better inside scoop in what software development entails.
According to him, 'Get a pack of Red Bull on the way home, bro' is a common one. It's said because oftentimes software developers have to pull all-nighters to finish the beta version of a software. "Because deadlines are not only for sales and marketing," he jokingly explained.

What would actually be rawdogging code would be doing it without internet search or access to Stack Overflow and GitHub. You mean I have to write every line myself? The horror!

So much of software development is this in a nutshell: find something that works and hide just how big of a kludge it really is!

Could have used that tester on one of the systems I worked on last century. System had been online for a couple of years. Dec 31 it crashed, booted, asked for date, crashed, repeat several times. Someone thought to enter Dec 30, continued working. Some idiot coded 365 days in a year, it was a leap year. This was a ballistic missile launch detection system. Fifty percent of all programmers are below average.

It doesn't, the file can be named arbitrarily. "requirements.txt" is just a customary name for this file.

Doesn't necessarily make you wrong. I've been programming professionally for 17 years, taking over from people who are 20+ years older than me, yet some of their code is absolutely appalling.
