There are hundreds of brilliant xkcd comics. This one might be my favorite:

I alluded to this in my post today! dev.to/laurieontech/don-t-get-fool...

Just because you find the question on google...doesn’t mean you’ll find the answer alongside it :/

Holy shit--this is so accurate!

They say that a junior developer's mistakes have a small impact on a project, but a senior dev's mistakes have a big impact, so by that logic, the experienced programmer's rake should be even bigger.

I've been using Vim for about 2 years now, mostly because I can't figure out how to exit it.

I fell asleep on the keyboard, and it exited my vi session. ZZ.

Sophie The Lionhart • Apr 5 '19

The easy way to exit is to just restart your computer!

We literally have this posted on the wall in our office.

Eliza Zadura • Apr 5 '19 • Edited

I love that, was going to post it myself. Hilarious :D It's on our wall too.

Paul • Apr 2 '19

A classic.

Drew Bragg • Aug 15 '19

This has always been one of my favorites!

Diego Giuliani • Jun 8 '19

Always loved this one

Molly Struve (she/her) • Apr 1 '19

I think I love this so much because for a long time I had no clue where it was reported 😂

partlybakedideas • Oct 27 '19

me too!(I was also my own admin.)

Laurie • Apr 1 '19 • Edited

This one was sent to me by a coworker after my first bug fix gone wrong. Definitely cheered me up!

Ben Halpern • Apr 1 '19

I feel this in my bones

Thomas Rayner • Apr 2 '19

Might as well have tagged me in this one

VenatusDev • Jun 27 '19

This is so true though

I recently read this gem on reddit.com/r/programmerhumor

Novice: What is a good prefix for global variables?

For anyone who deals in formal logic I've always been partial to the following.

Programmer's spouse: Could you go to the store and buy a gallon of milk? If there are eggs get a dozen.

...Programmer return some while later with a dozen gallons of milk...

Programmer's spouse: Why on Earth did you buy twelve gallons of milk?!

Programmer: Well there were eggs.

Yechiel Kalmenson • Apr 2 '19 • Edited

Classic!

Reminds me of this one:

The programmers roommate texts them "hey, while you're out can you please buy some milk?"

The programmer never returned...

Khoa Che • Jul 17 '19

He should crash, he don't have enough money to buy infinite milk.

Saurabh Sharma • Apr 2 '19

infinite loop. LOL

This reminds me of a sign I used to drive by a lot that read "End 55 MPH Speed Limit". I was always like "Woohoo, the only speed limit that existed just ended!"

Yechiel Kalmenson • Apr 3 '19

Lol, apparently speed limits can be nested, so when you go from a 75mph zone to a 55mph zone you're still in the 75... 🤔

A coworker had this pinned on her desk divider when I got my first programming job and I've passed it on to every programmer I've worked with since then:
