This Online Community Shares Memes For Programmers, Here Are 30 Of Their Most Hilarious Posts (New Pics)

I totally agree with this. It also reminds of a supposed Steve Jobs quote: "how would people know what they want if I haven't shown it to them yet?" I went digging to verify it and find the real quote. I think this is the closest real quote from him on the subject: "it’s hard for [customers] to tell you what they want when they’ve never seen anything remotely like it".

So true.

We need a Patch Day One and another Patch Day 2 .Well we might postpone the release? And upset our shareholders ? Are you out of your mind?

Place I worked has its own inhouse team for developing and programming. The company has a mock store inside corporate headquarters for testing everything from planograms to computer changes before rolling it out to the stores (nationwide). Around 2007 some idiot programmer got the bright idea that it was a waste of time to test their work and it would be cheaper and quicker to just roll out changes and let the stores report any bugs. Yeah, we come in at 7 to find that nothing works. 3000 stores unable to make sales or look up anything for 5 hours. So just how much cheaper was that untested rollout?

Most times it works but I don't know how

My sister has worked for forty years at a place that's been sold, merged, or taken over at least a half dozen times. She's never worried about being squeezed out or laid off. She's the COBOL person. She can work from home on any day with a vowel in it.

Great! You can ask questions of the original developer at the dinner table

I used to live in a Apt 403, and had a sign on the door that said "Forbidden"

Because the S is missing

I hate git with a passion

Yes, I have predecessors like this.

We used to (in the 1980s) hire summer intern programmers from the local colleges. One guy was absolutely brilliant. Smartest man I have ever met. He was leaving at the end of the Summer to go to MIT on a full ride academic scholarship in computer engineering. He could problem solve like no one I've ever met since. Unfortunately, he also got bored easily. We didn't know this at the time because he was cranking out modules for our new payroll system at an insane speed, and they worked beautifully. After he left we discovered that among the things that bored him were details like limit checking routines and disk write functions. He would just stub them off, sometimes with a comment like "finish this later", sometimes just silence. It took years for us to find and fix all those little details. Probably pushed back our release by close to a year. Smart does not always mean useful.

Seen this many times.

Made me think of a manager I had. The IT group reported to me. Manager bought several thousand $ of kit. Piles of boxes show up unannounced. IT was not happy as they were not consulted and there were major compatibility issues. His reaction "what's the issue? all you have to do is run a few wires"

Story of how I got a $5k design desktop puter. I opened a vendor's 3d assembly and my old computer said f**k you.

The right side should be considerably steeper.

Then corporate priorities shifted and the smart bit was removed.

For me it is "dnoeth"

I feel this.

They are all programmers. The bearded guy in the shorts is the team lead

the guy in shorts is actually the sysadmin

probably a sysadmin...

Trick question. All the programming was outsourced last month.

this is exactly how it works

I find the AI only summarizes what had been said most. Which doesn't make it right

AI shouldn't write code. It should make writing it easier. Does it appear I keep doing the same thing over and over? Write me a regular expression, because lord knows I can't.

The development environment is already installed. It is called Notepad

Python is hideous. Just throwing that out there. If Python is ever the answer, it must have been a stupid question.

I installed ollama on my phone once, and someone thought I was "hacking the mainframe". Seriously. Yeah, they were stupid.

If the compiler is smart enough to detect a missing comma, it should also be smart enough to insert it and keep going. I think all compiler writers are probably grammar pedants too

Worse is missing a bracket.

Using this image to create a meme is really culturally disrespectful. Advise removal

Haskell - June Cleaver's least favorite programming language.

DL and JP create 3 billion in value over 10 years with the company, resulting in 12% total salary increases plus 14 pizzas.

That code he's imagining could be replaced with one line: "return number % 2 == 0;"
