Good one there from Donald Knuth. Who knows the name of the journal in which he published his first paper?

[Reply #2 on:]

I missed it, didn't learn to actually read until 62.

Did he publish before this?

Knuth was one of the founding editors of the Engineering and Science Review which won a national award as best technical magazine in 1959.

Not strictly about programming though.
I liked this one:

"You’re making this too complicated when it’s really quite simple. All you have to do is make the software completely configurable so it can do whatever I need it to."

C++ is incorrect. But this was too much effort, it became C#.

Well it could be C---- indeed

I always thought that should have been called "I can't believe it's not Java"

Or two crisscrossed plus signs. Was that a correct word?

Network engineer gets drafted.

One day he's on the target range.

Fires a round, doesn't hit the target

another round, doesn't hit the target

another round, doesn't hit the target

Guy at the butts asks what he's shooting at.

Network engineer puts his finger over the muzzle, fires, blows his fingertip off.

Calls down to the guy at the butts, says...

"It's working here, problem must be on your end."
