Chapter 1: The Developer's Dilemma

Programming isn't for everyone.

Take, for instance, my wife, family, and friends. They often question what I do while I'm glued to my laptop, typing away for hours on end. They hear me exclaim "yes!" or "aha!" at random moments and can't help but wonder what's going on. Despite my numerous attempts to explain my work, their curiosity remains insatiable.

For those of us entrenched in the coding world, here are some amusing phrases to convey that you're a programmer without outright saying it.

1. "Stack Overflow is my go-to for answers."

Section 1.2: The Classic Excuse

2. "It's a bug? No, it's a feature!"

3. "It works perfectly on my machine."

4. "I haven’t touched that code in weeks."

5. "Compiling is my best excuse."

6. "Sudo, will you marry me?"

Section 1.3: Classic Programmer Sayings

7. "Hello, world!"

8. "Missing a semicolon is my biggest problem."

9. "I will find and fix that issue."

10. "I have no clue what I'm doing."

Section 1.4: The Mystery of Debugging

11. "It works. Why? It doesn’t work. Why?"

12. "If it works, don’t touch it again."

Chapter 2: Embracing the Developer's Humor

13. "I made a quick fix last night, but it broke after reboot."

14. "I’m currently working on it in my mind."

15. "What did you type wrong to make it crash?"
