Being a programmer is a serious and legit career, even if our grandparents think that we’re just “playing games over there in front of a screen.” That’s a real sentence my brother, who's probably been coding since he was 12, heard from our grandparents. In reality, being a programmer is meticulous and hard work, as 42% of developers' time is spent fixing bad code.
It also comes with its own brand of humor, one that people in other careers might not understand. That’s why Bored Panda is dedicating a list to “Programmer Humor,” a subreddit where programmers and software developers share memes, jokes, and other funny and relatable content. And if you’re thrown by the no-spaces grammar, this one might not be for you.

3. {whisper} I have no idea how the hell this even works. I wrote it when [drunk|high|in the midst of a flu fever] and don't dare touch it. {/whisper}

😞 Thankfully in the EU a lot of "turned on by default" isn't allowed. So instead it's a set of dialogue boxes to nag you to enable this rubbish.

It hasn't got to me yet, and quite frankly, I don't see how it can. I make physical things that make or alter other physical things.

🤦 I have always written my own HTML by hand. I did try a few automated tools that were quite nice (WYSIWYG!), but the HTML generated by them made my brain tear itself out of my head and repeatedly throw itself at the window in a desperate hope to smash through the glass...

Don't laugh, sometimes the most basic way is the way that works reliably.

Years ago, to get a project out the door, management offered $20 for dinner if you stayed late. After two weeks of unpaid overtime, I decided it was only fair. I went and collected $20. Three days later, found out management was upset with me. They expected me to go buy dinner and return the change. Overtime stopped.

I'd start with elephants. COMPUTER SCIENTISTS hunt elephants by exercising Algorithm A: 1. Go to Africa. 2. Start at the Cape of Good Hope. 3. Work northward in an orderly manner, traversing the continent alternately east and west. 4. During each traverse pass, a. Catch each animal seen. b. Compare each animal caught to a known elephant. c. Stop when a match is detected. EXPERIENCED COMPUTER PROGRAMMERS modify Algorithm A by placing a known elephant in Cairo to ensure that the algorithm will terminate. ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE PROGRAMMERS prefer to execute Algorithm A on their hands and knees.

Just had this on a call with an irate customer after go live. Well we were told when we signed that XYZ would be available and this would be a custom experience. They were sold the cheapest service option. Now I have to fix a project ( that I wasn't even on ) and will get blamed for blowing the budget.
