It's a bit more mathematical then programming but aren't we all just shitty mathematicians anyway:
Little John goes to school for the first day. The teacher wants to assess what do the kids already know so she asks
"Who knows how much is 1+2?".
Little John raises his hand and says
"I don't know how much is 1+2 but I do know that it's the same as 2+1 as addition is commutative over the monoid of natural numbers"
- mijoharas 6y agoI've got a related joke. A mathematician walks into the room looking distraught. His wife asks him what's wrong, and he says he's worried their child has a learning disorder. She asks why. He says he was trying to teach their child how to add, but he couldn't even understand zermelo-frankael set theory, so there was no way he'd learn how to add numbers before kindergarten.
