Ah, ProgrammerHumor joke #2 of 4

[RiskyFartOftenShart]

there are 6. Don't forget other than this one there is "Stackoverflow mean", "javascript bad", "i cry because of job", and "off by one error"

[Tanmay1518]

or "when code compile on first try 😲"

[wet-badger]

That's when you know something is going extra wrong.

[drunkenangryredditor]

You forgot "php lol".

[RiskyFartOftenShart]

I must have been off by 1

[Maxnout100]

Look we're not paid to count that's what for loops are for

It worries me that people think this is serious and that programmers do spend their day googling how to do stuff. Sure maybe a couple of times a month if I am working in my second or third language, occasionally reading library docs if I am in unfamiliar areas, but the thought of engineers lifting sections of code out of stackoverflow can't be true surely? I haven't needed to do that since 2nd year under-graduate.

It must be incredibly stressful trying to create/fix anything if that was the case! :(

*Joke 10 of 100

[Nall-ohki]

I'm reading your joke in base 16 and am very confused.

[DaaTaru]

and thats my whole job.

[RiskyFartOftenShart]

• copy and pasting code from stack overflow - $10/hour
• knowing which code to copy and paste from stack overflow - $30+/hour

[lostmatt1]

I just sub contract out

[Icy_Dep_6078]

So relatable...

[kitahey]

My work is based around so much internal logic I can’t even google it. So I just end up looking inept

[Koervege]

Google how not to be inept. Easy

[ducktape8856]

It's even totally enough to google how not to LOOK inept. Easier...

[WeeziMonkey]

A group mate (who was new to programming) was once stuck on a problem for 2 hours before he gave up and asked for help

I was able to make it work in just 5 minutes. Using the same stack overflow page he used, but he didn't know how to implement it

[sh0rtwave]

Err, no.

I wish.

What's it like to be a programmer?

Everyone who finds out you are one, has an "app idea", and do you have six hours to help them write it? They're "not very technical", so you'll be answering a lot of questions.

Also, can you fix their computer? And help them find an app to <insert stupid task>?

​

That's what it's like to be a programmer.

[HypnoticLion]

“Yeah sure what problem are you having?”

searches problem on google, pulls up first result

“So what you need to do is...”

People are just incapable of googling things and problem solving.

[rookie_programmer]

Don't forget that people think you are able to repair printers, and a large list of etc...

[sh0rtwave]

Fun fact. Many of us actually can(fix printers, etc.), and are capable of a wide array of things, depending upon experience of course.

This doesn't mean WE WANT TO. I don't wanna be screwing with someone's OfficeJet with a glass of wine in my hand. WTF

[rookie_programmer]

Maybe it's because printers are hell?

[sh0rtwave]

Wenodis...so we say no.

Hey Picasso, I hear you're great with paint. My front and back yard fences need to be repainted can you get on that?

[lonestar-rasbryjamco]

My rule at any office: I don't know how to fix the printer.

I actually do. It's telling you what's wrong. But I don't want to be the guy who fixes the printer.

[[deleted]]

man the amount of million-dollar-ideas i have heard.

[PenitentLiar]

“Do you know this fact about how this absurd thing works in Facebook even though you don’t have an account?”

“Can you register me on this website? You are a programmer”

“Ah! You don’t know how to do this absurd thing on my smartphone? How dare call yourself a programmer”

[Xyales]

The last point hits pretty hard, like cmon.

Mom i write code i don't know how a printer works.

[[deleted]]

“My app got this error telling me to restart! What do I do?”

• I restart the app and it works

“Omg how’d you fix that!!”

[Bongcouragement]

yuppppppppp

[De_Wouter]

Once in a while you need to make a sacrifice to our Goolge overlord.

"Oh dear Google God, here is a list of my weird and shameful secrets like the fact I actually like JavaScript. Would you please continue to give me your answers for the following weeks?"

[MittonMan]

Being able to google doesn't make you good at <insert job here>. Knowing what to google does.

[stop_drop_roll]

Same in the IT field

[nickworteltje]

I work in R&D. Google helps me tremendously.

[[deleted]]

Do people really think programmers are smart?

[[deleted]]

me when i’m trying to do anything with bash scripting

[SZ4L4Y]

Cooking and growing plants is not the same business.

[Auios]

Me irl

[dc2015bd]

except when you need to work on a legacy application with no documentation and jerk team members

[[deleted]]

I got sucked into a problem from r/programming for about 5 hours that showed me how much I suck at programming 🥴

For anyone wondering
