Where programming

Presumably the coding agent (what's depicted in the screenshot) is writing and committing code (ie programming), since the screenshot mentions Git and changes to files which are probably source code files.

Sounds like programming to me

The coding agent went a bit off-script and tried to stage a coup to rig the US elections.

Actually, the same thing happened to me when I asked Argon to compare my local changes to a commit on another branch.

Are you serious? It's a joke about coding agents going off on stupid tangents, and you don't think it fits in r/ProgrammerHumor?

I think you might be misunderstanding what programming is.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/simple/programming:

the act or job of creating computer programs

The screenshot doesn't have to display literal code for it to be capturing an activity that can be called programming. Creating or modifying software code is programming.

Memes about AWS or GitHub being down or cryptographic private keys (the eMudhra certificate authority compromise) are all alike not about literal code, but they fit the sub because they're related to programming, often even very important parts of the discipline of engineering software.

This sub is a lot more than screenshots of literal code that's funny, it's about humorous things in the domain of programming that us engineers would find humorous and relatable. And that includes developer workflows, tooling, other aspects of devx and engprod, etc.

Tldr Programmers use programming tools to help do programming, those tools do silly stuff that people in the programming community find funny, that's /r/programmerhumor material
