Front-End Web Dev Jokes
October 22, 2013
If you follow me on Twitter (@elijahmanor), you may have noticed that I like a good pun and I like to create them as well. The following is a list of curated original puns.
The feedback I've received range from "Ha ha" to "Groan" to "Unfollow", which are all valid responses to a good pun 🤣
So, without further ado here are some of the Front-End Web Dev jokes that I've authored thus far. Please, don't groan all at once...
NOTE: I've also created a JavaScript library and CLI program called devpun that includes all of these puns and more.
JavaScript

When a JavaScript date has gone bad, "Don't call me, I'll callback you. I promise!"
Dev1 saw a strange JavaScript function & asked, "What is this?". Dev2 responded, "I don't know. I would've called you, but I was in a bind"
q. What do you call
__proto__

TypeScript

q. Why did the react class component feel relieved? a. Because it was now off the hook.

Yeah, I know those were very cheesy pun-like jokes, but that's how I roll 🤣 I hope you somewhat enjoyed the jokes... if not, that's no problem too. Have a great week and enjoy yourself today!
