The Ten Best Jokes Ever Written about High Cyclomatic Complexity

(They are also almost certainly the only jokes ever written about high cyclomatic complexity. Please don’t ask us why they are all about bicycles. The answer is too obvious.)

1. Why did the developer go on a cycling trip? Because they wanted to experience high cyclomatic complexity in real life!

2. Why did the programmer refuse to ride a bicycle? Because they were scared they would increase the cyclomatic complexity of their commute!

3. What did the software engineer say when asked about reducing cyclomatic complexity? "I'm just cycling through the code, trying to find the bottleneck!"

4. Why did the programmer become a cyclist? To appreciate the complexity of loops both in code and on the road!

5. Why did the computer scientist start a cycling club? To discuss ways to optimize cyclomatic complexity while enjoying a good bike ride!

6. Why did the coder refuse to join a cycling race? They didn't want to add to their already complex life filled with cyclomatic complexity!

7. Why did the programmer fall off their bike? Because they were too focused on calculating the cyclomatic complexity of their ride instead of paying attention to the road!

8. Why did the developer bring a bicycle to the code review meeting? They wanted to demonstrate the concept of cyclomatic complexity visually!

9. Why did the codebase go on a bicycle ride? To get some fresh air and reduce its overall cyclomatic complexity!

10. Why did the developer start a cycling blog? To share tips on reducing both physical and code-related cyclomatic complexity!
