Summary

Programmers frequently employ a common set of characteristic phrases in their daily work, particularly when encountering bugs or discussing project status. These explanations, ranging from "It's working on my computer" to "Must be the problems of client," often reflect shared experiences in debugging, code ownership, and problem attribution. Recognizing these recurring statements can offer humorous insights into the typical programmer's mindset and reactions to challenges. The collection serves as a relatable compilation of developer expressions, inviting others to share their own frequently used lines.

As a programmer, I think many of us have something like these below in our daily work. From these explanations, we may get to know different programmer's characteristics. Below are something we may say frequently. Don't be too serious about them.

I've read this list before (many years ago), and I think you got the last one wrong: 'Even though the program does not work, how does it feel ?'
