Quite late to the party here, but when I visited the store, the phrase at the bottom of the shirt was not the same...frankly I liked what I saw on this thread better

Very much also enjoyed this one:

Q: Why do socialist software developers like programming in C?

A:

It has unions and no classes.

This sounds about right to me:

I love those names that techies have for folks who ask for technical support:

"It's a ID-10.T error" (spells IDIOT)
"It's a PICNIC error" (Problem In Chair Not In Computer)

I wish I knew some more of these, though. Y'all have any? I do tech-support all the time, and these sayings are quite fitting most of the time.

PIBKAC error.

I've always seen/heard it as PEBCAK (or PEBKAC).

Problem exists between chair and keyboard.

I've seen it both ways. (Problem Is Between Keyboard and Chair)

BGM · « **Reply #186 on:** May 22, 2020, 04:13 PM »

Ah, right - I've heard of that one before. So that makes three. Any others? I love these.

There are two hard problems in programming: Naming things, caching things, and off-by-one errors.

Heh heh. I take your pointer. But it seems like with programming the deeper you drill down the more you discover whole arrays of unresolved issues. At least that was my initialized impression.

Doh! It was staring at me in the face and I didn't even see it.

Well played, Deo!

I thought this was really funny when I heard it last August, but I just reread this entire thread and was surprised to see it had been posted here seven years earlier:
