September 13th is Programmer’s Day – which, although started by President Dmitry Medvedev of Russia in 2009 to honour computer programmers, it is now internationally recognised ( we hope)!
And what better way to celebrate than with a hearty dose of programmer humour?
In the world of coding, laughter truly is the best debugging tool, and we’ve got a collection of 10 of the best programming jokes and memes to tickle your funny bone (or to roll your eyes to).
Let’s kick things off with this classic as we are approaching both of these holidays!

8. What does a Software Engineer do?
9. A programmer’s wife asked her husband, “please would you go down to the shop to get a loaf of bread, and if they have eggs, get a dozen.”
He returns from the shop with 12 loaves of bread. “They had eggs!” he said.
10. How did the computer hackers get away from the scene of the crime?
I think they just ransomware.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the humour that permeates the coding world. Whether it’s clever wordplay, relatable debugging jokes, or hilarious memes, programmer humour unites us all in the shared joy of creating, debugging, and coding our way through the digital realm.
So, on this special day, let’s raise a toast to all the programmers out there.
May your code be bug-free, your compile times be swift, and your laughter be infectious. Happy National Programmer’s Day!
