There's nothing more annoying as a programmer than being asked to make quick little changes. The people asking for these changes usually mean no harm. All they really want is for their vision to be actualized to its greatest potential. Unfortunately, their vision is extremely annoying actually to make. Like in many industries, “idea guys" are a dime a dozen.

Have you all heard the drama regarding Elon Musk firing programmers at Twitter? It is honestly so stupid I couldn't even believe what I was reading. For legal reasons, this is all alleged, but ALLEGEDLY, Elon Musk has ranked the programmers at Twitter based on the number of lines of code they wrote in the past year and fired those at the bottom of that list. So basically, Musk fired all of the programmers who fixed the buggy code and kept all of the programmers who wrote said buggy code. Such m…

This year for Halloween, there are so many ways to dress up as programming concepts. Of course, you could take the easy way out and just dress like a programmer. Get some sweatpants on, put some black makeup under your eyes to make you look even more tired, and you're good to go. You could also go as a 404 error . Wear a white T-Shirt and write “Error 404 Costume Not Found” on it. You could even go as some of the most famous programmers in history. A Steve Jobs costume is classic and perfect fo…

There's been an epidemic sweeping the programming memes community. One meme has positively overtaken r/ProgrammerHumor to the point that it's nearly unuseable. I'm of course talking about, “what's stopping you from coding like this?”

It's IT meme time! I know what you're wondering: Do you mean IT, the classic Stephen King novel and 2017/2019 films about clowning gone wrong? Absolutely not, you stupid baby! It's IT time as in, the actually important IT, which stands for Information Technology . Now I will be honest with y'all. I am not a diva of the IT or computer science or programming persuasion. I am merely a humble former English major hoping that the STEM kids in the room accept these memes into their hearts. Even if I…

it’s that time of the week again. Time to dive in to some hilarious memes about programming and computer science. If you’re here I’m guessing you probably spent the majority of your day wasting away trying to code something with no real concept of whether it will go well or not. Thank God. We live in a world where our salaries can be salaried and not just based on whether each line of code succeeds or not.

Having a knack for computers is one of the most valuable skills someone can possess. Many people want to be programmers , but only a tiny elite group can actually pull it off successfully. A lot of wannabees think that since they changed their Tumblr theme with HTML in 2012 they can do this extremely difficult job. Coding takes hundreds of hours of your life but when a project is finally complete, it's the greatest feeling in the world. Programmers and coders are also well known for being able…

One of the most annoying things about being a programmer is the endless barrage of requests from your “friends” and “family” for you to make them a website. These requests are never put in professionally but rather brought up in a guilt-trippy way at random events. Your uncle has a landscaping company and has a website that looks like it would’ve been a victim of Y2K . Good news! Once you’re a programmer, your aunt will ask you to fix it every time you see her for years on end! The worst part i…

One of the hardest things about being a programmer is that you're not subject to the typical 9-5 workday. For many workers, if you can't get it done by Friday, you can merely shrug and get back to it on Monday morning. When you're a programmer, you have to work until the code is done and it works, and that's a lot easier said than done. Nobody knows why there are always so many problems with code when you first finish it. At this point, it's a medical mystery. But there is always something you…

So many people think that if you're a programmer , you must have a purely analytical brain with no room for creativity. That is patently untrue because everyone who has programmed anything knows that there's one arena in the code that allows you to stretch your creative muscles fully. I'm talking, of course, about the comments. Comments allow you to fully justify and make up for whatever monstrosity you've coded thus far. They add a little brightness to your day when you return and find a frien…

Good day, programmers . Today is Sunday, which hopefully means you're only looking at programming memes and not doing any actual programming today. After all, it's essential to have a healthy work-life balance. But I know as well as anyone that sometimes, work has to come before life. When you have something necessary and time-consuming to do, the workday is often not long enough. It's a sad reality, and we all find different ways to deal with it. Suppose you're reading this during the workweek…

Nobody understands the sentiment “work smarter, not harder” better than programmers. Bill Gates said it himself

As a young kid interested in math and engineering, you'd never think that a misplaced semicolon, parentheses, or bracket could get you down so badly. The feeling of spending hours and hours on your beautifully crafted code can inspire pride. “Look at me," you might think. “I've created an impeccable masterpiece that could never be replicated. This is better than anything in the MOMA, the Met, or the Louvre. I was sent to earth with the Midas touch, and baby, I've been getting my hands dirty." B…

Jokes about esoteric topics like programming and computer science are best communicated through memes. Otherwise, you've got yourself with a bunch of corny knock-knock jokes that nobody under 55 will enjoy. For instance, the following jokes are what you could be getting if you got your programming humor elsewhere. "Programmer goes to his computer. He's working at home. Right now, he's coding a music player for his own system. He tests it, seeing that it works. His friend calls him and says: "Wh…

Being a relatively new programmer is like living in two completely different worlds. Non-programmers think you are the absolute dog's meow. They act like you cured cancer, achieved world peace, and are worth 20 billion dollars. That kind of validation for choosing a well-paying career path can feel good, but it wears off soon enough when you're around senior programmers . You feel like the most useless ant at the picnic when you're with guys who've been doing it for years. In that room, you're…
