Woah, never realized so many people would be interested in programming memes 😳. Guess I'll be making more of them then. Subscribe for more nerdy memes 🤓

Code is like memes: We don't create them, We COPY AND PASTE them.

compiler: *"no issues found"*
attempt to compile: *"there are build errors"*
back to the compiler: *"no issues found"*

Optimization Tip: Remove the sleep(30) call you added a month ago and forgot about...
I had a friend who accidentally did this once. He was too embarrassed to admit it, and so the worst part was that he had to sit there and smile while enduring our boss publicly showering him with praise for his great work at improving the code's performance.

The eternal struggle between believing in free software and wanting to be a million dollar startup.

Discover a bug. Write some new code to fix it. Run the program. Bug still present. Adjust the fix. Run the program. Bug still present. Add in some angry debug messages to figure out why the fix doesn't seem to be doing anything whatsoever.
The debug messages don't print.
Rage. For some time. Try many fixes. Try many new bits of code. Go insane. Pluck out eyeballs Event Horizon-style from sheer frustration.
...Eventually realise I didn't actually save the original changes so they weren't included in the compile. Original fix was fine.



Forget to remove angry debug messages.

More like
if (height < 1.89) {
throw new Exception("friendzoned") ;
}
Y'know, an explicit error throw

Once I was stuck for more than a hour because the code(PHP) was written as "$a = $b" instead of "$a .= $b".
This is the least number of pixels that made us (me and 2 more) lose the most time.

As An Indian Who knows hindi and english both, I pity the world that is devoid of the information Indian youtubers provide in hindi

[skyfall]

2:24 the infamous Halting Problem, of an algorithm to figure out, in a finite amount of time, whether another program takes a finite amount of time to run, was proven impossible by Alan Turing, via some complicated argument about it contradicting itself if you feed it itself. Or, in other words, some smart dude showed it is logically impossible.

3:40 As someone who took a class in Java, immediately followed by a class in Python, I feel this in my soul.

[jgtbpl]

2:01 could be worse like:
nvm fixed it!

[ManuelGuiomar]

The pandemic one hit so hard I can't stop laughing

[mrkiky]

5:39 in his defense, it takes a lot of time to fix an entire misspelled world.

I made a backup of a database
I ran a code that did something to each entry in that database
It completely destroyed the database
But I had my backup. It was a nice day

"error on line 42"
the language: using whitespace for no reason is illegal

3:40 You also keep forgetting you can't do anything by yourself without asking for a bunch of pre-prepared code that you never bring with you... Python is like the kid who copies from the everyone in the class, passes the exams with flying colours and gets the teacher to congratulate them, while the rest of the class is the one that has actually been studying for decades before they showed up.

"Hey, can I be your friend?"
Linux: "Sure! Let me just make a few adjustments here... Okay, done. Phew... the work's never done, is it? Lol"

Windows: "Heeey! Mi casa is su casa. It's a little messy, but everyone is welcome, man! Oh, I just crashed a little, but that's okay, we're all friends here, we can sort it out. Just... don't go into the back room, okay? It's like a whole hoarder situation back there"

MacOS: "No, you pleb. Why are you even talking to me? I only speak to other MacOS. Except if you've been around for more than six months. In that case, get away from me." (later at some random non MacOS app it needs to run) "Oh, my GOD! Why doesn't anyone speak _normal_ here? I don't want to ask that promiscuous Windows guy to lend me their compatibility crap. Not again! It's so humiliating, and who knows where that's been?"

The feeling when you made such a really good application alone but there is another one better that is being managed by a company so people think of it as not as impressive 😭

I’m not a programmer but man that thumbnail was funny as hell what’s worse than having an error is not knowing at all what the error is.

[--Arthur]

6:00 Literally two worlds:
1 - You rely on libraries for all your code
2 - Libraries are demonic and you'll literally write anything to avoid adding another library

(I'm number 2😮‍💨)
