Programmer Humor

Okay, here’s a techy post that some of you might appreciate a little. I stole this from another site, but most of it is strangely applicable to folks/things I know.

  1. There are two ways to write error-free programs. Only the third one works.
  2. Real programmers don’t work from 9 to 5. If any real programmers are around at 9am it’s because they were up all night.
  3. Real programmers don’t comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
  4. Java keeps your hand tied. VC++ gives you enough rope to hang yourself. (Note to EE and Robin, this is not coffee. Java, in this case, is a programming language ;) )
  5. A program is a spell cast over a computer, turning input into error messages.
  6. Why doesn’t DOS ever say ‘EXCELLENT command or filename!’
  7. WARNING: Keyboard Not Attached. Press F10 to Continue.
  8. Smash forehead on keyboard to continue.
  9. Scandisk is now checking your hard disk. You can start praying.
  10. Hit any user to continue.
  11. Error reading FAT record. Try the SKINNY one? (Y/N)
  12. Enter any 11-digit prime number to continue…
  13. Bad Command or File Name. Good try, though.
  14. Want to make your computer go really fast? Throw it out a window.
  15. If you can’t beat your computer at chess, try kickboxing.
  16. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism, to steal ideas from many is research.

    Yep :) You have to dump that low-end version of Typepad and move up to the next higher version. Or let’s get you moved off of Typepad all together.
