40 Painfully Relatable Memes And Jokes About Everything Programming And Computer Science (New Pics)
After you boot up a computer, there is a myriad of ways in which you can ruin your day. But before you download a Trojan or delete System32, imagine how much energy and stress someone spent to code it.
Computer programming is a really broad field and it would take ages to describe. So let's take a deep dive into r/ProgrammerHumor instead.
As we at Bored Panda showed in our last publication on the subreddit, it's the place for memes and jokes that paint a pretty accurate picture of what the IT department at your office is going through on a daily basis. Enjoy.

Yeah, This Seems About Right
I hope these memes won't discourage you from a career in the IT sector. In the UK, for example, tech jobs are as hot as ever: job search engine Adzuna has reported that for the past few months, there have been consistently over 100,000 tech job offers per week live on the platform, with one week in May even seeing an unprecedented peak of 132,000 offers.
The data, which was compiled for the UK government's digital economy council, suggests that the industry is recovering from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (for comparison, last June saw tech vacancies fall to less than 44,000 offers).
However, the council suggests the new figures aren't only reflective of a strong comeback from a year of crisis. Tech hiring hasn't been this high since 2016.

Coming back to finish needle crafts can be similar, trying to figure out where I left off in instructions, finding the needles & the rest of the yarn.

Well you learn eventually to leave comments at strategic spots in your code to jog memory. And, when you've advanced to lead a team, it makes it easier to get people on-board and running.

Nah. The more experience you gain, the more complex the project and therefore the more ongoing code you have occurring.
Load More Replies...This might be due to increasing investment in UK tech companies. Last year, VC investment reached £11.6 billion ($16 billion); only six months into 2021, UK tech companies have already raised £11 billion ($15.3 billion) in venture funding, putting the industry well on track to surpass previous numbers.
"When you look at the amount that has been raised since the end of 2020, the numbers are really consistently strong," Liz Scott, head of entrepreneur engagement at tech networking organization Tech Nation, which is part of the government council, told ZDNet. "I don't think we are looking at 2021 being strong in comparison to a pandemic year, but at being back to record-breaking numbers."

One of the most in-demand jobs across the UK is software developer, for which there were nearly 10,000 vacancies just in April alone.
Also popular are AI and data science jobs such as AI engineers or programmers. A recent report from Ipsos Mori found that close to 110,500 job openings were posted in the AI labor market last year – double the number of vacancies registered in 2014 and a 16% increase from 2019.

Trying To Learn C

At the "start learning C" level, I highly recommend Arduino. Quickly and easily make practical things that you can directly see the results. Helps maintain interest, and helps turn coding into small bite sized chucks :D

My first language was CUBOL, Cuneiform Block Oriented Language but then I graduated to COBOL which had one great strength and one great weakness. Strength: It was so simple (thanks Grace) that any idiot could learn to code in it. Weakness: and, OMG, so many did (can you spell Y2K?)
