i think the better (or maybe just longer) you’re a programmer, the less funny memes get. i’m so sick and tired of them. when i started there was occasionally a funny one, now everything is annoying.

seriously, people find this shit funny?

Till the wheels fall off

I prefer to use a ;sleep(999) attack instead. You can't book me if I'm not around to be booked right 🤷‍♂️

Any technical meme triggers me by it's stupidity, didn't happen earlier when I couldn't understand it completely.

“Everything is annoying.”

That’s it. No more words needed.

I'm sick of it too. I've seen maybe 10 different kinds of programming memes total since the advent of social media. They stopped being funny a long time ago.

The SQL injection joke was funny when xkcd did a comic about Bobby Tables.

Thirteen years ago.

The joke is kind of dead now.

Aren't memes supposed to be copied?

The meme word does originate from mimicking.

Last week I got fine of $40 😂

Is posting a meme, with a comment about how shit it is, a valid use of the "rant" category now?

One definition of humor is:

"Things which *slightly* fall out of your frame of reference for normalcy"

If I yell "This is a bottle of milk!" while holding a bottle of milk, you think "eh... yeah, so? That's just... true I guess?".

Maybe the only thing funny about that would be the way I would express it, because yelling is *slightly abnormal*.

Most dev jokes would need a very fresh unexpected angle to still be funny, because they have seeped into normalcy for most of us.

Too far outside of your frame of reference, it quickly turns to either offensive or obscure. You see that often with comedians: Thin line between hilarious to uncomfortable to offensive, depending on the audience as well.

For me, this dev joke is funny:

"What did Goldilocks say when she saw the type signature Maybe (b -> Either a b)?"

"It's Just Right!"

But that's only funny because it's a silly play on words about Haskell, a programming language I use a lot.

Very funny)

I find it funny. In fact, I find Bobby Tables jokes funny. A lot.

@wackOverflow this comment made me laugh a bit too loud
