I still like all the old saws, like....

You might be a nerdy programmer if your significant other says
"If you don't spend get off that computer for even 5 minutes, I'm leaving!"

..and your response is to chastise her for improper syntax qualifying an if condition with an else clause.

@enorbet: Funny to think about "jokes" like that, when these days people do not "get off their computers" even for five minutes – even in the middle of the night.

Your Joke Welcome.
That's not a loop. It's a deadlock.

A loop is simply the repetition of a set of instructions, usually based on some condition.

A deadlock is when two processes interact to cause a mutually unresolvable situation, (which results in software freezing).

The "joke" is neither, but it more closely resembles a deadlock than a loop.

Andy Hertzfeld had this funny anecdote about arbitrary code metrics and loops: And Then He Discovered Loops!

@teckk: I can definitely relate to that last code-block!

Every now and again while directing a coding project – of course working with an existing system – I have had to tell the team: "Just make it look like it always did. As though only one person wrote it."
