35 Jokes That Programmers Will Definitely Relate To, As Shared In This Online Group
A big portion of the miscellaneous cake we call the Earth is sitting in front of their computer screens at this very moment. The pandemic life has made us all largely dependent on computers, electronics, and whatnot.
And while some of us are still sorting out how not to turn up as a cat for your next Zoom meeting, others are totally nailing their inner tech nerds with Starcraft benders.
So this seems like the perfect moment to introduce you to a comedy genre in its own right called Programmer Humor. In fact, there’s a whole powerhouse on Reddit dedicated entirely to that—"humor and jokes relating to programmers and programming.”
Sounds niche? Well, I wouldn't be so sure. 1.4 million members are totally swearing by humorous puns, jokes, and memes that feature everything from coding, cookies, browsers, IT depts, CSS, Java, Python, and you name it.

Dnd in a nutshell ("A software wizard or setup assistant is a user interface type that presents a user with a sequence of dialog boxes that lead the user through a series of well-defined steps. Tasks that are complex, infrequently performed or unfamiliar may be easier to perform using a wizard." - Wikipedia... I was too lazy to explain it myself)

Asking For Help Online
Remus-Alexandru Simion 5 years ago
This hits waaay to close to home. I had a problem where i had to always run ubuntu as root and had a question, everyone kept saying "you should never run ubuntu as root" instead of answering the damn question. I get it, it's not secure, that's not what i'm asking you, god damn it! Not every project running ubuntu is going to be online, not every project running ubuntu is going to have retards accessing it. I just wanted root access so i could run an overlay on top that no one would ever be able to get out unless they know what they are doing on an offline computer. just. give.me.root.

Just Google It
Jason Doakes 5 years ago
I thought I was pretty good at google searching (until maybe ~5yrs ago?), then the algos changed, which might be great for the 98% of casual searches, but when I search something old and all i get is 4 pages of results with the same 4 or 5 sites with the same item from last month, which might faintly sound like what I'm looking for, it's sad. Or maybe they just deleted all the information I know was there 10 years ago.

Thats only true for english forums. German forums are more like: Answer 1: If you know so little about it, you should not do it Answer2: "your issue" is obsolete "random other stuff" is much better Add: Solution to "your issue" on fake amazon shop Answer 3: That has been solved long ago. Use the forum search Reader: But the Search function is what got me here

The Ancient Code
Lukáš Vůjtek 5 years ago
It is funny, because it is true. I very often comment ancient code. Because after year or so .. I start to forget original thoughts, but I am still able to recognize meaning/problem/process from "outside person" view. Because .. there is NOTHING like "abanonded" or "finished" code. If it is "mystery code" .. than probablity you will need to understand that .. increases exponentially (law of universe).

in every job I had, I invested the time to make many tasks simpler and more accurate; sometimes it was simple queries, others it was spreadsheets, but that early time reaped many hours of dividends later when those weekly or monthly tasks needed to be done; I wouldn't do anything differently today
