Why I Decided To Learn Programming by Elthugnificent(op): 3:03pm On Mar 18, 2018
With the opportunities available in the IT world, learning a programming language can go a long way in shaping the world and changing your life forever.

People pick up various programming language for different reasons, such as; improvement of job prospects, becoming your own boss, increase your logic and become more detailed oriented among other reasons.

Well mine was non of that, but happens simply after reading this joke on online ---- " A programmer got suck in the the shower, because the instruction on the shampoo bottle said..... Lather, rinse, repeat" and some crazy romantic programming quote - - - - - " hey girl, I am a read-only boolean property in your class and only you can turn me on" and finally - - - -

" how much do I love you? Let me count the ways
Int i=0;
While (1){

i++;

}

".

After seeing the above, I decided to go online and source for other cool and funny jokes/quote. But I could not understand it or find it funny in anyway, as such I just shrug.

The next day I downloaded YouTube tutorials on programming, c++ to be precise after which I installed code blocks and also downloaded some ebooks.

After a month of learning all I could on c++, I went back to those site and re-read those funny jokes/quote/meme and believe me you it was so worth it.

In conclusion, I actually learned programming to facilitate my understanding of their jokes, quote and meme. Well that shouldnt negate the fact that picked up some relevant knowledge on the way.

oh my goodness. that last picture killed me....

i recall a meme in which a compiler said there was error on line 73. the programmer corrected it and ran the code. The compiler then said there were errors on line 57, 91, 112, 273, 305........
REVERT, REVERT, REVERT
