    When I heard the joke, it was a mathematician instead of an engineer. Here is one of my favorites...

    A biologist, a physicist, and a mathematician were hiking. The biologist looked up, pointed, and exclaimed, "Wow! I didn't know there were any black bears in this area."

    The physicist retorted, "All we know for certain is that there is one black bear in the area."

    The mathematician stated, "Actually, all we know is that one side of that bear is black "

    Crikey these are getting worse! I don't have any mathematician jokes so here is this one:

    The CIA are holding trials for a new assassin position and there are two men and one woman who have made it to the final round. The shady CIA agent tells them to come into a room one by one. The first candidate, a man comes into the room and is presented with a choice: next door is your wife tied to a chair, take this gun and prove your loyalty by killing her. However the gun is loaded with blanks. The man is disgusted and refuses. "Bah you are weak, you are no use to us." says the CIA agent.

    The next man is invited in and given the same choice. He takes the gun and enters the next room but soon comes back. "I can't do it!" he breaks down in tears. The CIA agent sends him home - "You are no use to us!".

    Finally the woman enters the room and is given the same choice except it is her husband. "Remember to think about things that might impact your decisions" the CIA agent suggests. She grabs the gun and enters the next room. Soon there are sounds of gunshots. Then there are the sounds of screams and smashing. Shortly later she emerges sweating. "What happened?!?!" asks the CIA agent. The woman shrugs and says "I thought about what you said. This gun was loaded with blanks, so I beat him to death with the chair!".

    There was a manager, a mechanical engineer and software programmer driving down a steep mountain road. The brakes failed and the car careened down the road out of control. Half way down the driver managed to stop the car by running it against the embankment narrowing avoiding going over a cliff.

    They all got out, shaken by their narrow escape from death, but otherwise unharmed.

    The manager said, "To fix this problem we need to organize a committee, have meetings, and through a process of continuous improvement, develop a solution."

    The mechanical engineer said, "No that would take too long. I have my trusty pen knife here and will take apart the brake system, isolate the problem and correct it."

    The software programmer said, "I think you're both wrong! I think we should all push the car back up the hill, get in and see if it happens again."

    I think the programmer must be part of this dev team 🤣

    Thanks for your input. But if he couldn't answer the question maybe he should have kept scrolling. Ya think?

    Not really. He is just a forum user. He didn't insult you or deride your experience, he just responded to your comment with a half joke but a not untrue statement. If you ask someone for directions and they don't know for sure but offer an opinion what do you do, punch them in the face?

    Probably, making me waste gas and stuff lol
