“ Code is like humor. When you have to explain it, it’s bad.” – Cory House

@CodeWisdom Nice one, @CodeWisdom. Coding and comedy — you've mastered 'em both!

@CodeWisdom The quote I have heard is "A User Interface is like a joke, if you have explain it, its not that good"

@CodeWisdom "Documentation is like sex; when it's good, it's very, very good, and when it's bad, it's better than nothing.” -- Dick Brandon (attrib)

@CodeWisdom I love all the people who have decided to reply to this tweet and explain it.

@CodeWisdom Sometimes, code is a humor.

@CodeWisdom I tried telling programming jokes to none programmers. Now that’s fun

@CodeWisdom No wonder he has so many JavaScript tutorials then.

@CodeWisdom @I_JV_Learner isn't documentation and comments kind of explanation? I don't see any project's code without them.

@CodeWisdom how i hope my teacher can just understand this quote

@CodeWisdom @antonpiatek I think code is like jazz - if you need to have it explained to you, you'll never understand it.

@CodeWisdom Yeah, what a "clever" observation :) but thinking in the similar fashion, comedy expects intricate context and specific audience whereas code should strive not to.

@CodeWisdom I like it 🙂

@CodeWisdom Humor it’s like code. Its bad when u hv to explain it

@CodeWisdom @itortv Can I use "You have no sense of code" to shoo these people complaining about my obfuscated code?

@CodeWisdom @NoBugsHare Code is like humor, hence I cannot control my laughter or become too serious while doing a code review of my code.

@CodeWisdom There are some smart people following you. :) Personally, I have to have some code explained to me. Like Dynamic Programming and its use on some Project Euler problems.

@CodeWisdom Code is a language. Regardless if congress shut that down decades ago.

@CodeWisdom Aha now i get it. Code is all “in-jokes”...

@CodeWisdom This is all well and good, but comment your friggin code. Everyone thinks their farts don't stink, and I've never been trying to figure out a piece of code and been like "this is so well written, I'm really glad it doesn't have any comments or documentation."

@CodeWisdom My whole job is humour.. bad humour.. in fact it's one of those where if you don't laugh, you cry!!
