We all like jokes that are cracked at the expense of someone else’s code.
Developers are usually very quiet and introverted. We take a bunch of ‘tickets’ and convert them into code while being seated at our desk all day. Strange, innit?

If you’re not a developer and here to check what developers find funny, you’re going to be disappointed. It’s not that we don’t like jokes, we just like a certain level of nerdiness in our jokes.
If you’re a programmer worth your salt (heh!), you’re going to love this collection of programming jokes below. These are sourced from around the internet & intended to make your week a little bearable.
Note: A lot of the best programming jokes on the Internet come from xkcd. This webcomic was created by is a webcomic created by Randall Munroe in 2005. The comic’s tagline describes it as “A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language”. Munroe states on the comic’s website that the name of the comic is not an initialism, but “just a word with no phonetic pronunciation”.
Let’s start:
1. Tech Support
The worst nightmare for any developer is to contact customer support for an internet problem. The customer service agents sometimes (I’m being polite, read ALWAYS) fail to understand that restarting computers does not always work. Well, we’re developers and understand how these things work, so a lot of the time we know how to fix the problem, provided you connect us to a fellow developer.
SHIBBOLEET: I’m going to try it the next time I call any customer support service. I wish, someday, it comes true.
2. MVP
Making an MVP is all about trying to create a list of features (when actually all you do is create a list of bugs) while heading towards the launch date. Solve a couple of king-sized bugs and forget about the rest (if only it were that simple).
