As a developer, I love a good programming joke. Our peculiar humor may seem cryptic to outsiders, but these 10 jokes absolutely crack me up thanks to their technical subtleties:

1. A SQL query walks into a bar, goes up to two tables and asks:

SELECT * FROM bar WHERE drink = 'beer';

2. A product manager, a backend developer, and a frontend developer are in a car. Who’s driving?

No one, they're agile and have no drivers.

3. How did the developer announce their engagement?

console.log("We're getting married!")

4. Why was the JavaScript developer sad?

[They] = "wanted some time alone"

5. Why did the functional programmer get thrown out of school?

Because they refused to take part in side effects.

6. Why did the developer go broke?

Because they used up all their cache.

7. What diet did the ghost developer go on?

Boolean

8. Why was the mobile developer sweating profusely?

They were rushing to meet the App Store deadline.

9. Where do developers drink?

The Foo bar

10. A QA engineer walks into a bar. Orders a beer. Orders 0 beers. Orders 99999999999 beers. Orders a lizard. Orders -1 beers. Orders a sfdeljknesv.

The bar explodes.

Hopefully these jokes managed to tickle your funny bone as much as they did mine! Feel free to steal them to torment your non-programmer friends with. Just be prepared to explain them…
