[language-agnostic] What's your favorite "programmer" cartoon?

Personally I like this one:

P.S. Do not hotlink the cartoon without the site's permission please.

This question is related to language-agnostic

The answer is


As a project wears on, standards for success slip lower and lower

("40% of OpenBSD installs lead to shark attacks. It's their only standing security issue.")


One more which I liked: No offences.. :)

Pwned

While not specifically about programming per se....wanting to program games is what got me interested in IT in the first place....

anyway this one made me laugh so hard when I saw it!


What?! No PhDComics? Check this out: alt text http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive/phd1112.gif

Remember this was 1997!!

Also read the following strips... Hilarious!


Dilbert is the top favorite, but I've also really enjoyed the xkcd comics the last couple years. I've got a couple of those posted up in my cube... I try really hard to live by this one.

I think the IT consultant's image is the best:

Reasons why people who work with computers have a lot of spare time

(linking because the picture's pretty big)

This has made my year.

Some engineer out there has solved P=NP and it's locked up in an electric eggbeater calibration routine.  For every 0x5f375a86 we learn about, there are thousands we never see.

There's a Russian version of Bash.org at Bash.org.ru. What they do now is they take favorite quotes and turn them into cartoons or comic strips. Here's one of my favorite ones: Tester http://s.bash.org.ru/img/67c5y2emi7vwmrnd263759.jpg

  1. We've got a clever tester now -What do you mean?

  2. He's found bunch of stuff... A funny symbol there, a weird key combination here. He's real good

  3. But sometimes... I really want to smash his face

Ten reasons you know you're living in 2009

  1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
  2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
  3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.
  4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
  5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
  6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.
  7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.
  8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
  9. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.
  10. You're reading this and nodding and laughing. :)

I'm guessing that this would probably never happen, as agreeing to the terms and conditions is more important than actually reading them (from the software publisher perspective).




XKCD Comic 303 - "Compiling"

('Are you stealing those LCDs?' 'Yeah, but I'm doing it while my code compiles')

I have this one pinned to the wall facing the entrance to our office :)



The doomed project

a nice collection


Oh! There can be only one:

It's sooo funny, because it's true :)


I like this one: http://xkcd.com/149/

Pointers



My all time favorite is probably xkcd's "Sudo make me a sandwich" comic, but there are SO MANY good webcomics out there that I thought I'd throw some others out for fun:

A co-worker pointed me to Sticks and Stones, which just got started pretty recently. It's sort of an xkcd ripoff, but there's some good stuff in there. alt text http://www.arcanology.net/sticksandstones/comics/comic-10.gif

Hackles is frequently about programming. This one's probably my favorite: Hackles, by Drake Emko & Jen Brodzik http://hackles.org/strips/cartoon334.png It's not quite a programming comic, but I also really dug this strip from Full Frontal Nerdery:

One of my favourite :)

If androids someday DO dream of electric sheep, don't forget to declare sheepCount as a long int.

I wrote a production website that has the path /dev/random/ return 4 because of this comic.

This is something I found reading about anti-patterns.




As a project wears on, standards for success slip lower and lower

("40% of OpenBSD installs lead to shark attacks. It's their only standing security issue.")

Pwned

While not specifically about programming per se....wanting to program games is what got me interested in IT in the first place....

anyway this one made me laugh so hard when I saw it!



Bit old but still one of my favs:

I can't believe 6 pages of answers and no one mentions the banana jr 6000. How quickly we forget.

The other one I love and couldn't find the image for has the punchline "Failure Mr. Jones, is hardly original. Now sit down."

Also from the Bloom County strip.



This is my personal favorite... and the name of all my alpha releases! alt text http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive/phd071009s.gif

I think the IT consultant's image is the best:

Reasons why people who work with computers have a lot of spare time

(linking because the picture's pretty big)


Can't and shouldn't

If all bugs were so easy to close.
