    Jokes Programming
Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the idea of creating a dedicated thread for programming jokes, building on existing threads for lame and science jokes. Participants share various programming-related jokes, highlighting the humor found in coding mishaps and the quirks of programming languages. Jokes include puns about common programming scenarios, such as confusing Halloween with Christmas due to coding syntax and humorous takes on debugging. The conversation also touches on the challenges of programming, with anecdotes about the complexities of coding languages and the frustrations of working with outdated or poorly written code. Additionally, there are discussions about the importance of clear communication in programming and the humorous misunderstandings that can arise in tech environments. Overall, the thread serves as a lighthearted space for programmers to share laughs while reflecting on their experiences in the field.

I guess programmers are not very intelligent. Certainly their elementary English grammar needs tutorial help...
You're saying programmers aren't pro-grammar?

That why it's called a Poof of Concept.
:oldeek: I'd have thought, in this day and age, that it would very politically incorrect to refer to your executives as gay.

I get this sort of thing all the time on physicsforums. I ask a question. If they don't know the answer they say it's a dumb question.
Example pls?

Let's keep this out of the jokes thread. These issues should either be reported in the Feedback section, or in private conversation with the moderation team.

Oh, I dunno. Anyone who says (seriously) "that's a dumb question" deserves to be mentioned in a jokes thread. :angel:

Many jokes are a stupid answer.

When I first saw plumbing like this in a professionally installed water system for a zebrafish facility, I know I could do better with a home made system. Those companies are better now.

Actually not too different than the first computer I programmed.

And yes, BTW, this was the entire system. WYSIWYG.

Can you show us the handshaking protocols?

At 1.08 (can't seem to get link to start at specified time on my phone, sorry).

Sidenote: I started with QBASIC in school for three years, then moved on to Java (using BlueJ) for the next four years. For the last two years, I shifted to NetBeans at home, and that was a great boost to knowledge as I could quickly view documentation for every function and class. I think it is a good idea to start with languages like Java, where blocks are delimited by braces, rather than languages where an extra space can screw up your whole code, unless you are using an IDE.

Lame jokes need no further categorizing :smile:

No, I didn't learn Pascal. BASIC → Java. Thereafter, MATLAB + Python (latter in college, primarily for numerical computation in physics). Side by side Android, MySQL, and some basics in C for Arduino.

I wasn't talking about you (why would you have learned Pascal?), but referencing the chart you posted. BASIC was my first language, but I would think that many of those who learned programming in the 1970's and 1980's would have started with Pascal.

Can we do write-in options?

Pascal - thought it was Wirth it.

Coincidentally, we have a new member who joined today, @Pascal pressure :smile:
