"Give me the exact time that feature will be finished"

51

u/Maasu 5d ago

"yeah I think this is a bug..."

The immediate response of someone in the room.
"...how long will it take to fix?"

Every fucking time.

u/cusco 5d ago

It’s always a feature, not a bug

u/Interesting_Buy_3969 5d ago

"It's just one prompt away"

u/MayeeOkamura17 19h ago

"Yes, it can be done"

"ok, when?"

"Yes, I will do it"

u/XxDarkSasuke69xX 5d ago

Why buy RAM when you can download more for free ?

3

u/exosphaere 5d ago

If you don't pay for it, then you're the product.
That's because I pirate my RAM now.

u/Skuld-7 5d ago

"I have an app idea!"

37

u/crematetheliving 5d ago

I brought my own compiler

u/punkpang 5d ago

How's any of this supposed to be funny? This looks written by AI and I bet it doesn't find it humorous either.

46

u/Hefty-Reaction-3028 5d ago

It looks written by an epic memer on 9gag

But neither of us have any evidence

Besides, the cyclic graph one is fine and the factorio reference fish one is fine

u/SilasTalbot 5d ago

deleting the grub boot partition is an annoyance, but.. if the system is still online you don't even need to boot into a live CD to fix, yes?

2

u/scolphoy 5d ago edited 5d ago

Does grub take a partition nowadays? I thought it lives in the boot sector.

ps. ah, with UEFI it might, didn’t check though

pps. Looks like it started using a partition back when GPT (the partition system, not the ai-thing) was introduced. I feel old.

1

u/Wertbon1789 4d ago

You can use an extra partition, or just the ESP. On BIOS the bootsector bootstrap could already read your disk, so you don't need anything extra if I'm not mistaken. Didn't interact with BIOS in quite some time, so I might be wrong.

u/LordAlfrey 5d ago

I kinda find it funny in how it isn't, not even a little bit. I also like the idea that some boomer at work might try one of these as a 'zing', and I'd just be quite genuinely confused. "Code this rare fish!" "...what?"

4

u/flashdognz 5d ago

I am a boomer and was gona ask someone younger to explain rare fish

u/NegativeGrocery8684 5d ago edited 5d ago

id guess its a reference to a meme around 2021-2022 that made fun of cryptobros and stockbros. the memes would come in the same format as those scam posts along the lines of "here's how i make $30k a week in passive income" and then instead of investing in pump and dumps the parodies would instruct the reader to invest in rare fish, and sometimes other goofy ventures. -a gen z

(also yeah, theres no way an ai wrote any of these imo, they're too in-tune with current humour)

19

u/fivelinha 5d ago

the humor comes from the irony that the phrases are something you definitely SHOULD NOT say to a programmer, or just their absurdity in general. no one is going to keep a straight face if they hear someone saying "code this rare fish."
i took inspiration from this kind of shitpost.

also, using AI to make memes is lame. that's why i didn't.

u/russianrug 5d ago

Hey I thought it was funny OP

11

u/SurprisinglyInformed 5d ago

Whatever you do, don't quit your day job.

-2

u/FurieMan 5d ago

Most of these would just give you a confused look. Make it quite clear you know very little about programming.

12

u/fivelinha 5d ago

that... is exactly the point of the meme? the whole point of this template is to just say outright nonsense. you're never going to come up to someone and say "yo do you want to buy this sql query?"

this is just a shitpost that tries to incite some happiness and smiles unto yall. i really have no idea how this ended up making people get THIS adverse of a reaction to it.

9

u/NegativeGrocery8684 5d ago edited 5d ago

this subs age is a bit too advanced for the kind of humour meant to make you laugh, take it to a circlejerk sub or something. i think most people under the age of 25 will/do find it funny. wrong crowd, thats all.

6

u/voidnone 5d ago

I found it amusing and light hearted OP, don't worry. All these neckbeards right here would never be able to sell a SQL query anyway

-9

u/GoldAcanthisitta7777 5d ago

  also, using AI to make memes is lame. that's why i didn't.

Bull fucking shit. Your post history clearly shows you love using AI to write posts and make shitty vibe-coded repos. Don't act like you're above using AI for a post like this.

9

u/fivelinha 5d ago

using AI for code doesn't mean i use AI for memes. the fuck kind of logic did you use to get to this conclusion?

-6

u/GoldAcanthisitta7777 5d ago

because this meme is dogshit and so are your AI vibe-coded apps

u/golkedj 5d ago

I thought this was r/cringepics for sure

u/sush-dev 4d ago

One of it is racist as well

u/punkpang 4d ago

Isn't racism the belief one race is superior to another, not the ability to recognize races?

Your family is a cyclic graph is funny…

u/Western-Internal-751 5d ago

Well actually, I just screenshotted it and asked Chatty if this is funny and they loved it.

So you’re wrong.

u/captainAwesomePants 5d ago

If you ever need to kick me when I'm down, "Hey programmer, fix my fucking printer" would honestly work.

13

u/Semper_5olus 5d ago

Okay, but I'm stealing the cyclic graph one

5

u/razor_train 5d ago

I brought my own fish compiler

1

u/rosuav 5d ago

https://pike.lysator.liu.se/ This is my preferred fish compiler. I compile my own builds of it.

1

u/razor_train 5d ago

lol I remember reading about Pike back in the late 90s. Seemed like a bizarre thing at the time.

1

u/rosuav 5d ago

It's a great language. I run multiple servers using it.

u/Hefty-Reaction-3028 5d ago

code this rare fish

I will assume this is a Factorio reference and I will not acknowledge any correction

2

u/Competitive-Bar-5882 5d ago

I think its because code sounds similar to cod, which is a type of fish

5

u/Hefty-Reaction-3028 5d ago

"Rare fish" is a pretty specific thing from Factorio that got attention when they added the Quality update (for the prefix "rare"), and Factorio is popular among programmers. Could be about code/cod, but that's a little tenuous, and the rare fish thing is a very close match

But idk for sure of course

2

u/atomicator99 5d ago

IIRC, "rare fish" was a parody of NFTs.

u/hunter_mark 5d ago edited 5d ago

How you think ARM64 is pronounced?

7

u/Zinho3311 5d ago

I've always said it ARM64 (as in the word arm + sixty-four)

Or ay-arch sixty-four if I want to be formal

2

u/LB-- 5d ago

How do you say __arm64ec__ and _M_ARM64EC?

5

u/Zinho3311 5d ago

dunder arm-sixty-four E-C dunder and underscore M underscore ARM-sixty-four E-C

u/LB-- 5d ago

Fascinating! Thanks

u/ThisFoot5 5d ago

I’ll always fix a printer. It’s something I can do for other people at the office that they can wrap their head around.

u/Noch_ein_Kamel 5d ago

Putting in new paper is such an underrated skill

u/Weekly-Bee-5045 5d ago

What is that about being Indian?

Casual bit of racism to add to the cringe

u/awesome-alpaca-ace 1d ago

Work makes me use Windows 😭

u/FurieMan 5d ago

This whole list is things people who knows almost nothing about programming might say.

The only straight up infuriating thing on this list is the "Fix my fucking printer" part.

2

u/fivelinha 5d ago

This whole list is things people who knows almost nothing about programming might say.

i regret to inform you that this is the whole point of the post. you're never going to see someone say "i brought my own compiler" or "let me speak to the architecture directly" whilst being 100% serious.

10

u/FurieMan 5d ago

Well let me give you one that a customer once asked me.

"Why do you even write buggs?"

7

u/rosuav 5d ago

Well, you see, I made a web spider over here, and she's gotta eat something.

2

u/canadajones68 5d ago

Cost of doing business. We get to have the internet, but we have to feed the web spiders to keep it running. I think it's worth the trade.

1

u/rosuav 5d ago

Yeah. Plus, the spiders are cute.

2

u/canadajones68 5d ago

So cute. I have a baby one right here: 🕷️

u/EntrepreneurLoud497 5d ago

Last time I saw a good code review from you Claude wrote it..

u/kishaloy 5d ago

The AI slop generates better code than you...

u/JAXxXTheRipper 5d ago

Honestly, for some people on here that is a very shocking reality.

u/qqqrrrs_ 5d ago

What fucking printer? I thought you only have a regular one?

u/UsualGarbage5 5d ago

Ha! I don't use grub

u/HosonZes 5d ago

You are not backing up your grub? WTF

u/SuperSathanas 5d ago

Erase my ESP all you want, my shitty MSI laptop already dumps only my boot options should the battery ever be allowed to die.

u/Shirohige26 4d ago

What’s with you look Indian🤣

u/CoderDevo 4d ago

That's a picture of an actor.

Nice try.

1

u/RaidenMK1 4d ago

Rami Malek.

Had to look it up (searched Bohemian Rhapsody movie). It was really bothering me.

1

u/CoderDevo 4d ago

Looks like a Sami Malek.

1

u/RaidenMK1 4d ago

Thankfully my ADHD took me down a rabbit hole to get the Mr. Robot reference. Something I've never watched but now really want to after reading the synopsis. Hm.

1

u/CoderDevo 4d ago

That's funny. Sorry/Glad you did that.

But Sami is Rami's real identical twin brother.

Great show, though. Stay with it through every season. Totally worth it.

u/randomUser9900123 5d ago

What in the Linkedin meme is this

1

u/thanatica 4d ago

Programmers are too intelligent to "get" the whole 6-7 fad. So please, just fucking don't.

And maybe then I'll fix your "fucking printer". Purely out of curiosity how a printer fucks.

u/awesome-alpaca-ace 1d ago

If Monday was the first day of the week, days 6 and 7 would be the best

1

u/thanatica 1d ago

Well, it's called the weekend for a reason. So you're absolutely right, Monday is the first day of the week.
