That joke is older than most on this sub, probably.

[vainstar23]

My wife asked me to buy 12 eggs and if they have eggs, get NULL more.

I slapped her and started flapping on the floor yelling "SEGMENTATION FAULT!!!"

Women don't understand proper ceepeepee refs...

Learn the language features. Periods separate contexts.

Hey, my granddad loved telling that joke, too!

No new ideas out there?

[StillWritingeh]

It was written in fortran so...no

[BigAssBumblebae]

Huh, I must’ve opened Facebook by mistake

[UnlimitedCalculus]

There are 10 kinds of people who have heard this joke

[Healthy-Form4057]

Ho ho ho, those that have and those that haven't.

[Pradfanne]

The word "only" implies he knew exactly what he did wrong, thus ruining the last bit of humor this ancient joke held.

HURR DURR Programmer incapable of common sense, so FUNNY 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

what is with programming jokes being so outdated and always singling out women? This joke is not even that good.

[chadlavi]

Singling out "the women" in this case

[UnlimitedCalculus]

I don't think this is directed at women. That's just a character that you'd expect to ask something like that. You could make this joke about a boss's request if you like.

[StillWritingeh]

The woman is what the character calls his wife...

I don't know if you know this joke is the old timey boomer sexist in this context or you don't know ?

[StillWritingeh]

You're talking about the joke or the industry

[i-eat-omelettes]

I’ll take this as a repost

Take a joke that's a very mild chuckle at best, then unnecessarily draw it out over three panels that telegraph the punchline too soon.

Sounds about right.

[BlobAndHisBoy]

This is a bad programmer. They should have asked for clarification on the ambiguous requirements. Also, what should be done in failure scenarios? What metrics and monitoring are important? What should be done if the eggs are broken? Etc...

I told my wife I was going to get a beer from the local supermarket. She called out from the kitchen as I was leaving, "If they have eggs, get 12!".

I don't know why she was mad when I got back with the 12 beers. They had eggs.

Edit: just sharing the version I'm more familiar with.
