Intro:
Developer humor is a special breed—it requires knowledge of syntax quirks, debugging trauma, and obscure tech logic. If you’ve ever snorted at a binary pun or facepalmed at a null joke, this list is for you. For everyone else? Well… // TODO: Understand this later.

1. The Classic:

"Why do programmers confuse Halloween and Christmas?"
Punchline: *"Because Oct 31 == Dec 25!"*
Why it’s funny: Octal 31 (base 8) = Decimal 25. Pure math snark.

2. The Existential Crisis:

"I changed my password to 'incorrect'."
"Now my computer just says: 'Your password is incorrect.'"
Why it’s funny: Infinite loop logic meets real-life pettiness.

3. The Hardware Struggle:

"Programming is 10% writing code and 90% understanding why sudo rm -rf / seemed like a good idea."
Why it’s funny: Every dev’s "I’ve made a huge mistake" moment.

4. The Web Dev Truth:

"CSS is like a relationship. You change one thing… and everything breaks."
Why it’s funny: Because !important is never enough.

5. The Pun War:

"Why do Python devs need glasses?"
"Because they can’t C#!"
Why it’s funny: Language rivalry + dad joke = perfection.

6. The Debugging Haiku:

"It worked yesterday.
I changed nothing, I swear.
Chaos theory."
Why it’s funny: The universal lie of "no changes."

7. The Database Burn:

"SQL walks into a bar, sees two tables, and says: 'Can I JOIN you?'"
Why it’s funny: JOINs are either love stories or horror shows.

8. The Cloud Joke:

"My AWS bill is my villain origin story."
Why it’s funny: Because $0.02/minute adds up to existential dread.

9. The Time Travel Paradox:

"I used chmod 000 /time – now I have all the time in the world."
Why it’s funny: Permission-denied absurdity.

10. The Final Boss:

"while(true) { beAwesome(); } // Compiler error: Reality not found."
Why it’s funny: Because infinite awesome breaks the universe.

Conclusion:
If you laughed at these, congratulations—you’re fluent in Devlish. If not? Try running sudo apt-get install sense_of_humor and reboot.
