30 Memes And Jokes About Everything Programming And Computer Science (New Pics)
Interview With ExpertThe 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.

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 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...
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!
This!! User: locks front door and raises drawbridge over moat; Website: hangs rusty screen door out back 😯
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!
I get fault reports from our Support team all the time that state things like "User gets an error message when they do X" and my first reply is always "What does the error message actually say?". Their other favourite is to screenshot the stack trace, but only ever the useless bottom part of it, and I aways have to fire back with "Can you send the complete stack trace, please?". We even provide a button in the software (OUR OWN SOFTWARE) to copy the trace to clipboard, and our own Support team routinely fail to use it.
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.
From what we are currently experiencing, these last things are sufficient to cause the end of life as we know it.
could someone explain this because it looks like a case of r/hadastroke
Depends if it had the knowledge of what would happen to it and an idea of whether living or following the new data was more important
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.
