Chuck was a legend. «Breaker! Breaker!», «Missing», «Code of Silence»… Those of us who are in our 40s or older remember the incredible action movies with Chuck.
By the way, he received the nickname «Chuck» while serving at Osan Air Base in South Korea.
We dug around Reddit a bit and collected the best, in our opinion, programming jokes featuring Chuck.
Let us remember the Master. May the earth rest in peace!
Chuck Norris’s first line of code («Hello, world!») was not printed, but at the same time no one dared to fix it
Chuck Norris' code is bug-free. Bugs become industry-defining features. (As long as Chuck Norris works at Microsoft… Ah, wait: Microsoft works for Chuck Norris.)
Chuck Norris once wrote a whole new programming language with a single line of code. It works perfectly on any device, all the time! Devices don’t have a choice.
The compiler corrects its own errors and never warns Chuck about anything, so as not to upset him, God forbid.
Chuck Norris got tired of Assembler, so they invented C. And actually, the letter C in C stands for Chuck.
Chuck Norris can store 256 values in a single byte

Chuck Norris develops in prod (Chuck writes code right in prod)
Chuck Norris doesn’t make http requests. He makes http requests.

When Chuck drops a table, it’s bloody but silent.
Chuck Norris once worked for the company as a Level 1 and 2 support specialist, and never received more customer complaints.
Chuck doesn’t use debuggers. He just stares into the eyes of the code until it confesses.
Chuck Norris never had to use the -f option when deleting files. Everything deleted itself. Quietly and respectfully.
Chuck Norris is so cool that he’s a valid color in HTML — even though he’s not officially there. Browsers just don’t dare ignore him and do everything they can to make him work.
What’s really happening with chucknorris:
html<body bgcolor="chucknorris">
The browser takes the string chucknorris, discards all non-hex characters, and tries to extract from what remains three pairs of hex digits for RGB.
chucknorris → c00c0000 → #CC0000 → bright red color.
That is, bgcolor="chucknorris» — this actually works in most browsers and gives a red background.
PS Chuck Norris is so cool that when publishing this article, the author accidentally blocked WAF (according to OWASP CRS rule 93216001:10). It turns out that WAF also misses Chuck. Wait… it’s not WAF blocking articles about Chuck, it’s Chuck blocking WAF :)
