The thread centers around programming jokes, inviting participants to share humorous anecdotes and quips related to programming, coding, and the experiences of programmers. The scope includes various types of jokes, from puns to anecdotes, and touches on the culture surrounding programming.
Participants generally share jokes and engage in light-hearted banter, but there are disagreements regarding the clarity and correctness of some jokes, particularly those involving programming syntax and grammar. The discussion remains unresolved on these points, with multiple interpretations present.
Some jokes rely on specific programming knowledge, which may not be universally understood, leading to confusion among participants. Additionally, references to grammar and syntax errors highlight the interplay between programming and language, but the exact nature of these errors is not settled.
This thread may be of interest to programmers, computer science students, and anyone who enjoys humor related to coding and programming culture.

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

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.Wrichik Basu said:

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.DrClaude said:
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.Wrichik Basu said:
