Long hours hammering away at a keyboard. Copious amounts of caffeine that would probably render a normal person a jittery mess. Hours spent waiting for code to compile, or ferreting out that rogue character that’s causing the entire program to fall apart.
The life of a programmer isn’t glorious or grand. It involves a lot of drudgery and very little appreciation. But it also involves a whole lot of passion – and we know you wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.
Why not share a bit of that passion with one of these coding T-shirts? They’re designed for coders, by coders. Once you’ve had a look, why not see if you’re inspired enough to whip up one of your own in our Design Studio?
They’ve Already Seen Everything
You Can’t Scare The Java Developer
Given some of the stuff Java devs have witnessed, it’s impossible to even shock them anymore. Trust us on that.
Eat. Sleep. Code. Repeat.
It’s a cycle we’re certain you’re intimately familiar with (and probably one you wish you could break free of as well).
What Makes A Developer?
Beer, multitasking, problems and coffee, all with a healthy dose of sarcasm. Show us a programmer who doesn’t have those ingredients in one measure or another.
Fill In The Blank
It’s probably better that you don’t share the meaning of this T-shirt for programmer teams with anyone who’s not a fellow coder.
Always Does
We both know the end user’s probably doing something wrong, even though they’d never admit it and save you both a bunch of time.
Actualization
How do you define yourself? If you’re anything like most of your peers, probably through your code, right?
Break
A little programmer shirt pun that we can all appreciate while we’re on the clock or running errands.
Caffeine Not Found
We’ve all been there. Order a batch of these coding shirts for the whole department (and don’t forget the coffee).
It’s Really Not
You Say Introvert Like It’s A Bad Thing
We’re certain there are charismatic, gregarious, larger-than-life people in the programming field. But for most of us, there’s no better companion than a hot cup of joe and the gentle glow of our screen.
They’re More Similar Than You’d Think
Though it’s probably easier to hit backspace on your coding mistakes.
Bad Vision
Java Programmers Wear Glasses Because…
A nice little spin on our first entry of funny programmer T-shirts – and no less true for it.
Debugging
Look, here’s the thing. If we don’t collectively learn to laugh at our debugging woes, we’ll probably just end up crying.
Sadly, That’s How It Actually Works
How much do you want to bet that at least 50 of those bugs are caused by a single misplaced apostrophe?
Only Programmers Will Get The Joke
And in most cases, we’d rather not deal with either. Put that sentiment right on the tee if you want an extra bit of attitude in your custom programming shirts.
A Familiar Struggle
A programmer’s life really just boils down to staying one step ahead of a series of looming deadlines.
15 More Awesome T-Shirt Designs For Coders
There’s no shortage of inside jokes in the programming community – and no shortage of awesome T-shirts that pay homage to those jokes. We’ve compiled a few more of our favorites here. Let us know what you think!
Coding is a tough job. But someone’s gotta do it. Might as well be you – after all, you’re passionate enough that you’ve made it into your career, right?
Mind you, there’s no reason you can’t share the pain with some of your peers. Toss a few inside jokes out there, maybe emblazon them on a coding T-shirt or two. Speaking of that, we’ve compiled a few more designs we think might be just the ticket for all you coders out there.
Have a look, and consider putting something together in our design studio, too! There’s even more inspiration to be had with our gallery for tech companies, where developers get paid to do what they love.
Code, Not Words
Let’s be real. Most of us don’t code because we’re skilled wordsmiths. Our talents lie elsewhere – and it’s good to acknowledge that, so someone else can deal with it.
But What?
I’m Here Because You Broke Something
Being a programmer has a lot more in common with being a handyman than most people realize. Most developers would still prefer dealing with user errors in software to unclogging a toilet.
Cheers
Here’s to the feeling you get when your code compiles and everything works as intended (it’s rare, we know).
World-Changing
Don’t deny it – wear this coders’ T-shirt to show off how programmers these days have a lot of power (even without debugging life).
The Tree of Code
This one’s a pretty self-explanatory graphic tee design, but still rather neat, no? You probably know more than one of these programming languages, and you can start conversation by asking other coders which ones they know.
Seriously. Don’t.
How many of you have wished you could actually do this to an ignorant boss/co-worker/colleague? Be honest, then broadcast it on your T-shirt.
Having Faith
Software Development=Church Development
This software engineer T-shirt calls out the overlap between two seemingly different kinds of development. …although they sometimes get about the same results too.
Memory Errors?
These shirts for coders make no mystery of your brilliance. You’ve got a mind like a steel trap. It just needs some time to load, is all.
Code Away
Because it’s the 21st century and programming isn’t just for guys anymore (and technically never was because Ada Lovelace was the first computer programmer).
You’re Probably Sick of Saying It
What do programmers even do? We’ve all heard it before. For people who don’t understand how coding works, a lot of what we do can seem like laziness. And maybe it is – but not in the way they think.
A Friendly Reminder
…We all know that most of our end users still won’t do it, no matter how many computer programmers tell them they need to.
Needs
From experienced app programmers to self-taught specialists, most of us tend to run on coffee and spite, after all.
Sounds Painful
Most users probably won’t understand what that means. But it sounds ominous enough that maybe they’ll leave our code alone, right? We can always hope, can’t we?
Simple Instructions
If only it were possible to code a robot to do exactly this. Think of how much faster the workday would go!
Just Point
Maybe it’s not just for coders, but it’s still a handy thing to have for all your inescapable IT woes. All your stock answers for the computer issues that come up again and again (and again).
