One of my all time favorites. Can’t remember where I first read it (Quora?), but it’s currently my top Google hit for “balloon programmer project manager joke”. [0] ============ A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts: "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised my friend. I would meet him half an hour ago, but I…

"And you got there by a bunch of hot air."

What's the difference between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg? One's a human trying to conquer Mars and the other is an alien trying to conquer Earth.

I don’t know if I a downvote because Zuckerberg doesn’t like being called an alien or because Musk doesn’t like being in the same sentence as Zuckerberg! O.o

Ah, logic jokes... Three philosophers walk into a bar, and the bartender asks: "Do you all want a drink?" The first one says "I don't know." The second one says "I don't know." The third one says "Yes!"

Ugh this is why I hated logic problems in school. Anyone care to help a poor soul understand the meaning of this joke?

Seriously?

The first hadn't heard from the others but wants a beer so can't deny the universal.

The second hadn't heard the last but wants a beer so can't deny the universal.

Neither the first or second could deny the universal so therefore they want beer and so does the last so that one can reply yes.

/Sigh, I explained it.

[Edit: and then noticed three others had already but I was too incensed to read beyond the ask. /Sigh]

If you mean you're not a programmer, rad, good compliment. If you mean QA engineers aren't programmers... wtaf?

It's weird how some people admit they still test code by hand

I do
