Are You a Web Dev Nerd? Take the Test!
Have you ever wondered if you really were a Web Dev nerd? I mean, you don’t necessarily have to be a nerd to enjoy web development… Today, I bring the solution to your problem! Nope, I’m not going to tell you how to stop being a nerd, i’m going to tell you definitively if you are one or not!
In order to determine if you are or are not a nerd, I have developed a simple test. Well, to be more accurate, I have copied down some jokes from the HTML Dog Blog!
Here is how the test works: If you laugh at any of the following jokes, then unfortunately you are a web dev nerd! It’s that simple. Some people would claim that simply understanding the jokes would make you a nerd, but that is where I disagree. Simply understanding the jokes means you enjoy web development and work in this area. Laughing however, means you enjoy it too much and are a total nerd.
Here we go…!
