TIL about the greek question mark
Tell me, can you tell the difference between these two characters?

Like r/programmerhumor, this community is already full of people who literally never programmed anything more than Hello World before.
And just like Reddit you’re complaining about it for absolutely no reason. How about we try to be a bit more welcoming and a bit less gatekeepery.
That’s kind of an absurd position when the explicit purpose of segmented communities is to gatekeep content.
I realize my attitude is negative, but r/programmerhumor was not my crowd and it looks like neither is this community. There is no place where I can find memes about a large part of my life and I’m frustrated.
“Missing semicolon”, “light IDE is for psychopaths”, “JS sucks”, “AI is just if-statements”, I just can’t relate to those jokes and after the 100th repost I still don’t think they’re funny.
Your contribution appears to be solely whinging. If you want a certain type of content how about you post some and see if it catches on?
I’m curious, what would you prefer? Reposts suck, but dunking on the languages everyone agrees are bad and complaining about debugging is the only version of programmer humour I’m familiar with.
I found this blog article with some xkcd comics that I find hilarious, if that helps
XKCD is indeed awesome.
These are quite funny. Thank you
Not OP but if we’re talking about preferences I’d say most people who don’t find rehashed, samey jokes funny usually prefer jokes that take an unexpected route through a more thorough understanding of the subject they’re joking about. So instead of a new itteration of “JS bad”, for example, make a meme about how much better JS is than a popular language in a convoluted hyperspecific engineered circumstance where JS’s normally not good properties can be engineered to be more optimal than the competition.
See, that just sounds like the same joke but done better to me. It boils down to “JS bad”, only through the lens of the weird exception that makes the rule.

Lame
how about https://programming.dev/c/programmer_humor ? this instance tends to attract more actual programmers
preemptive note: I’m not making a suggestion, I’m asking what you think.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !programmer_humor@programming.dev
Sounds like a win for this community.
Just because a meme is not reality doesn’t mean it can’t be funny.
Did you expect anything different?
programming hello world is doing better than most people and I applaud and welcome beginners.
I am little more than an amateur myself, entirely self taught, and yet I’m forever digging into various bits of code for my marketing job, because paying someone $400 to fix a recalcitrant css style in a week and a half is worse than just doing it myself.
Who the hell tries putting Greek question marks in their code? Like, I get most compilers will show you what character each error starts at, but still.
