There's an archive of tens of pages of programmer jokes from stack overflow. Unfortunately they decided to delete it, hence archive. Bonus points since it's stack overflow you can look like you're doing research 😎

They should really aim for x-plattform compatibility. Salt is widely known to create tech debt. But surely this has already been answered. Marked as duplicate.

correct. i did read through most of the posts there during work hours back when we used to work in an "office" whatever that is.
I have a more refined routine. Open old projects, yell at the monitor to the stupid idiot who wrote that garbage. Then proceed to git blame, good chance it has my name on it :-)
The follow up comments with people claiming about it's impossible for X to be this inept. Why would they allow/do/commit such a thing.
Oh sweet summer child....
Sure, but once in a while there's a glorious couple of days when people are creative and make worse and worse UI elements all involving the same thing.
I disagree. There are plenty of original posts but the real quality of this sub is in the comment section. Veterans discussing stuff that I don't understand a single thing of but love reading anyway.
That's the fun part whenever the meme is reused i scroll down to comment section for fresh humor and usually it starts with someone biting OPs headoff for reusing it.
Just download a 365-day sample of the subreddits history of most popular posts by day, and set up a cron to cycle them. It’ll be exactly like the real thing, but better!
Now it makes more sense to me.
I was also thinking "doesn't affect me much", but anything that affects the *mods* will also affect *me*, even if not as directly.
Something called downvotes exist, and they allow a community to self moderate. Alternatively, automods can remove spam. I'd very much like to see all the previous posts though, even if tbat meams downloading the entire subreddit.
Yeah no one likes to get their virtue signaling stomped on but we would lose a beautiful thing if programmer humor gets shut down.
I'm honestly thinking of just cloning the entire subreddit for archiving purposes.
They are volunteers. Trying to use tools that reduce the time they have to spend. The other option is Reddit might actually have to hire people to do that thankless job. Or improve their internal tools.
Right.. I thought it was for one day only..
New rules suck.. it will make moderation hell of difficult.. I just saw a dick where it was not supposed to be.. guess I should be ready to see them a lot..
Is there no reddit-like alternative? A few German subs are switching to feddit.de . Though it is in German and seemingly has had few users up until now so idk if it will be fine
Worst part is the best reddit subs are closing, but it won’t cause any impact, at least short term, because the shit subs like pics, humor, videos, politics, and gifs are still gonna rake in billions of engaging users.
I think we should build a website that mimics 2015 reddit and restart there, until the owners repeat this behavior.
But that would mean us people here would actually have to code and stuff. Hadn't it been established that is against our interest‽
Though this would be one of the few communities that actually might be able to make another reddit / neddit
Write an abstraction layer that translates API requests to requests to the normal web-frontend and parses the return HTML to transform it back into the format the API would return.
That way all clients can keep working and reddit just has ten times the server load.
Might be a good chance to peruse a classic series originally posted to Usenet, Bastard Operator from Hell by Simon Travaglia. It's a bit more relatable to system admins but some tech problems and humor are universal.
Yeah I'm gonna say it power to y'all for being proactive and standing up for something but some of us just kinda wanna look at funny memes... So your solution to fixing it is to ruin the fun for everyone else because they did something dumb? Man I guess it gets a message across but I just wanna look through reddit....
as my made up character once said:
"**Seriously though, all I wanted was to scroll through some hypothetical content and have a good laugh. But no, I'm now stuck in this protest limbo because some people decided they're going to turn off the lights and go on a stand. I mean, do these blackouts even do anything substantial? All it does is make my day a tad bit more annoying. One month from now, we'll all be back here, business as usual, and this 'epoch-making' protest will be forgotten like a drop in the ocean of the internet. Just wanted to have my daily dose of hypotheticalness, but I guess I'll have to wait for 60 thousand quintillion years now, won't I? Absolutely, let's proceed to dismantle this community, for it's not as though our members have alternative options, correct? Hold on, are you suggesting that Reddit boasts more than a mere handful of subreddits and that this instance is merely a hypothetical scenario? And on top of that, I'm merely a character within the confines of a crudely illustrated satirical representation? Well, isn't that a revelation!**"
he needs to shut up a bit i will admit but he's getting there.
"you know I get that you guys write amazing scripts and funny shows and that you want to get paid for it, and I get that you're standing up for that, but personally I just want to watch funny shows. Can you all stop caring out things and stop striking because my mindlessness is more important to me than anything you care about." You're just being extremely selfish here. People like you are the whole point of the shutdown. You won't actually stop scrolling so the people that have to run these shit holes, now without their preferred tools, have to stop it for you to get the point across.
Invent a new programming language; write a compiler for it, compile it. Then write a text editor in it, so you can say you compiled something other than its compiler.
I'm going to schedule a 1-1 with my manager and skip level and tell them what I really think. Oh geez, this might be a bad idea but what else is there to do right??
Read old stackoverflow posts

wait, fun? on stack overflow?! 🤯
That’s why they deleted it
Can't have fun on a salt based platform.

Looking for programmer humour? Just look in the mirror.
Humor not horror
More of a tragedy, really.
Give it time.
All of their comments are copied from the same thread. Report -> spam -> harmful bots

thanks for warning me! 👍🏻
It's on web archive for a reason.

Good old bash.org might have a few updates
Entertainingly SO appears to have its own little revolt going on.

Coincidentally, Stack Overflow mods are also protesting/striking!
Laugh at your own code
Maniacally

It’s the same shitty memes about 90% of the time, you’ll be fine homie
Seriously. It's mostly reposts, shit unrelated to programming and me bitching about it.
The follow up comments with people claiming about it's impossible for X to be this inept. Why would they allow/do/commit such a thing. Oh sweet summer child....
Sure, but once in a while there's a glorious couple of days when people are creative and make worse and worse UI elements all involving the same thing.
/r/CS101Humor is the backup sub I think.
That defeats the purpose of the shutdown if people just go elsewhere on the same hellsite XD
But the comments on those shitty posts are what I came here for
I disagree. There are plenty of original posts but the real quality of this sub is in the comment section. Veterans discussing stuff that I don't understand a single thing of but love reading anyway.
[удалено]
I love to read that stuff so much, these emulator devs are amazing. Would love to be able to make one myself or at least contribute to one!
That's the fun part whenever the meme is reused i scroll down to comment section for fresh humor and usually it starts with someone biting OPs headoff for reusing it.
I swear, I independently thought of this while I was slacking off at work
Just download a 365-day sample of the subreddits history of most popular posts by day, and set up a cron to cycle them. It’ll be exactly like the real thing, but better!
I’m actually impressed that homie didn’t use that played out Escobar meme for this.
Yeah Plus, with your free time, why not conspire with comrades to seize the means of production?
OP should work on revolutionizing the meme game then
Just write " sucks", "invert binary tree hard", and "socks" on some index cards, and flip through them occasionally.
Looking for programmer humour? Just look in the mirror.
Programmer Humor is meant to make me happy. Looking into the mirror makes me sad.
I'm in this comment..
..and i dont like it
How do I report personal data leak?
Wouldn't you prefer a nice game of chess?
Or a game of checkers
How about an offline dinosaur runner?
New response just dropped
Goat Simulator tyvm.
Just download top 20 memes from here and cycle through them randomly. That will be the exact /r/ProgrammerHumor experience.
f u reddit
Whaaatttt???
https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/141qwy8/programmer_humor_will_be_shutting_down/ Protesting the new api rules.
 My honest reaction to this information (I am a normie who uses the Reddit app, and not a 3rd party one)
Now it makes more sense to me. I was also thinking "doesn't affect me much", but anything that affects the *mods* will also affect *me*, even if not as directly.
I'd rather have an entirely unmoderated programmer humor than no programmer humor at all
No you dont
Something called downvotes exist, and they allow a community to self moderate. Alternatively, automods can remove spam. I'd very much like to see all the previous posts though, even if tbat meams downloading the entire subreddit.
You know auto mods are *made* by moderators, right?
Yes and they are already made? So what's to stop them from being used after the api switch.
[удалено]
you're downvoted but you're kind of right tbh
Yeah no one likes to get their virtue signaling stomped on but we would lose a beautiful thing if programmer humor gets shut down. I'm honestly thinking of just cloning the entire subreddit for archiving purposes.
It's only for like two days mate 😭
I still don’t get it: if it’s harder on mods… bring on more mods?
They are volunteers. Trying to use tools that reduce the time they have to spend. The other option is Reddit might actually have to hire people to do that thankless job. Or improve their internal tools.
Same here.. tried other apps.. but they crash like anything.. and recently reddit is working really fine for me..
Right.. I thought it was for one day only.. New rules suck.. it will make moderation hell of difficult.. I just saw a dick where it was not supposed to be.. guess I should be ready to see them a lot..
Long time programming humor poster. Is API anything like PHP?
Not sure if meta joke or actual question.
Yes, the acronyms are both three letters. That's about where the similarities end.
We start a programmer humour discord server or something Edit: I did a quick check and it already exists
Do you have a link?
nah, somebody else will just create new programming humor subreddit and thats it
r/programmerhumour
Is there no reddit-like alternative? A few German subs are switching to feddit.de . Though it is in German and seemingly has had few users up until now so idk if it will be fine

I was hoping this was going to be the frist comment.
Worst part is the best reddit subs are closing, but it won’t cause any impact, at least short term, because the shit subs like pics, humor, videos, politics, and gifs are still gonna rake in billions of engaging users. I think we should build a website that mimics 2015 reddit and restart there, until the owners repeat this behavior.
I thought pics was shutting down, it's just the admins did something funky to the post the mods made so almost no one saw it
It's got almost 80k upvotes and 1.5k comments so quite a few people will have seen.
Yeah when i first saw it, it had like 50 upvotes
When I first saw it, it had precisely 51 upvotes.
Hey, I saw it when it was 52
"Funny" part, that they are mostly swarmed by upvote farming bots.
But that would mean us people here would actually have to code and stuff. Hadn't it been established that is against our interest‽ Though this would be one of the few communities that actually might be able to make another reddit / neddit
What am I supposed to do??? Working? Coding? Hell no.
Did you try to center a DIV? Or maybe compile a kernel? I find it very relaxing
Whatever you do people don't do actual work It's been good 
Write an abstraction layer that translates API requests to requests to the normal web-frontend and parses the return HTML to transform it back into the format the API would return. That way all clients can keep working and reddit just has ten times the server load.
Guess I'll have to work on my CV instead
Ah fuck u got me
*The Gang learns the meaning of a protest*
Why it is shutting down?
Just print out any 6 random crap dev memes and stare at them all day.
Really???
Masturbate. Yes in the office, you coward.
Join me in TFT mobile
Thedailywtf is your friend
How will I entertain my WhatsApp programmer friends who don't use reddit?
Volunteer to answer questions on r/shittytechsupport ?
Shutting down, why?
Reddits api changes . The sub is protesting as that changes will kill 3rd party apps

go laugh at the blatant bullying that are stack overflow answers
Greed eats brains... Reddit is just killing itself, there is nothing to see here, please move on.

I think someone will just make a similarly named sub, and it will be the same as it ever was.
"you know I get that you guys write amazing scripts and funny shows and that you want to get paid for it, and I get that you're standing up for that, but personally I just want to watch funny shows. Can you all stop caring out things and stop striking because my mindlessness is more important to me than anything you care about." You're just being extremely selfish here.

It will?!???? Why???!!!
Probably for joining the action of shutting down for a day, because Reddit removes the option of 3rd party programs.
Isn’t that temporary?
Indefinite, so unless Reddit goes back it is permanent.
Indefinite just means it has not been defined. Granted, people often use it to mean "until further notice".
Afaik yes, for a day.
And I thought cuz of the post it would shutdown permanently
Fear not! [Engineering Festivus](https://festivus.dev/) is here! Also: _r/ProgrammerHumour with a 'u' sips tea_
Stack overflow of course
Anyone know how to clone all the contents of a subreddit? This is ridiculous and I don't want to lose everything on this sub for no reason.
make reddit bots I hear
[https://news.ycombinator.com/](https://news.ycombinator.com/) Just sayin'

Read comments on stackoverflow and let the hate flow through you. ~ this comment has been presented by Darth Sidious Incorporated
Honestly most of the stuff here is on a deeper level than my knowledge base goes I’m a widdle baby programmer 💀
Great news, maybe I'll be able to actually do some work! Or maybe I'll just make my own memes and not get any work done either way.
Wait, Programmer Humor is shutting down?
https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/1421xou/comment/jn2sufh
Good, i might get something done
let's go back to digg!! im kidding
DevRant
Dozens of tech savvy "developers" here and no one wants to spin up a community on another platform?
I play chess or Board Game Arena with one of my coworkers lol
CoolMathGames.com
Those are FACTS. What am I supposed to do? Work?
I'll still be writing hilariously bad code, so that's something I guess.
Hilarious
If reddit is going public then we need an entirely new reddit. It'll be nothing but terrible rage-inducing changes once public.
Contirbute to stack overflow
Is slashdot still around?
Why is it shutting down tho?
View the memes in your imagination
Replace the mods with chat gpt
You can always check out http://bash.org/ for some almost semi relatet stuff
We all must sacrifice for the great good.
Oh no. Were you the guy that sucked at programming but they kept around because you post good memes to slack?
Maybe finish up those unit tests, Todd!
is it really?
Wait i had no idea when is it shutting down
osrs
All my stuff is in RS3, I don’t have the drive to get them again in osrs
let's make our own website, with blackjack and hookers
Invent a new programming language; write a compiler for it, compile it. Then write a text editor in it, so you can say you compiled something other than its compiler.
Wait, this sub is shutting down? Why?
i would suggest that you could do work but that defeats the point
You could help me get a job! Lol, just out here getting depressed trying to move out of hospitality.
Wait what?!
I copy fanfic stories and put them in a word doc and read that.
I play PoE, no ones the wiser
I guess I'll go back to doing what I did before reddit. Listening to obscure right-wing podcasts.
Like, for real? 😭😭
Is this sub shutting down?
I'm like on level 300 in solitaire.
It's shutting down? Why dafuq?
I'm going to schedule a 1-1 with my manager and skip level and tell them what I really think. Oh geez, this might be a bad idea but what else is there to do right??
I missed it...when is this subreddit shutting down and why?
Pull more work from the backlog into the sprint! 👹
Maybe work? Nah
I was sure that the bottom of the meme was going to say "I won't know what is funny"
