Summer is here and we couldn’t be happier about vacation time! Still, some of us have to work, so we tried to find a way to make everyone smile! What better way to smile than with a great pun!

What are the best puns? Definitely the ones only a specific group of people will understand and enjoy. Especially in the era we’re living in, we need to feel like a family and share “inside” jokes with one another. So, let’s take a look at some of the best programming puns we came upon during the pre-summer times.

We love programming in all its forms and we do love a good joke. What’s most important here is that we know how essential it is, especially in strange times, to be a part of a community and contribute one way or another to the common well-being. And of course, how important it is to feel good and laugh often whatever troubles are going on. But if we know one thing best, that is programming. How do you feel about programming? Do you want to join a company, where your well-being is the most important thing, along with coding? Check out our current openings here!
