If code, good or otherwise, didn’t need comments, the syntax for adding comments wouldn’t exist. Think about it.”

Hence proved, even the PROGRAMMERS can be humorous at times and jokes can be made on coding too.
After all, it is monotonous and for working on codes all day, you need to stay motivated. Why not have fun while doing this and enjoy coding?
These were just a few of them. If you have in mind any other funny comments (or have read it somewhere) that a coder can use, feel free to leave a reply and share it with us.
Let’s have fun together!
