Front-End Web Dev Jokes

You may have noticed recently that I've tweeted some Front-End Web Developer jokes here and there. The feedback I've received has ranged from "Ha ha" to "Groan" to "Unfollow". I think most of those responses are out of fun, but who knows :) Others have encouraged me to continue making more jokes and have wondered where they can see a list of all the puns.

So, without further ado here are the jokes I've authored thus far. Please, don't groan all at once...

q. How do you comfort a JavaScript bug? a. You console it
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"
Two JavaScript developers walked into the variable bar. Ouch!
