T-shirts with jokes only developers get, designed by developers who have said "it works on my machine" more than once. This collection has every tee in the shop: coding jokes like "It's a feature" and "I'll refactor that later", role shirts for frontend, backend, fullstack and mobile developers, and tees for people who write JavaScript, Go, Rust or PHP every day. Pick a classic printed tee, an embroidered organic-cotton tee or an oversized tee. All are unisex, every design comes in at least S–2XL, and each shirt is made to order.
Which one should I pick?
Frontend developer? Choose a frontend role tee or a shirt for React or Angular developers. Backend or DevOps? Go for the backend role tee or the Go and Rust shirts. Buying for someone and not sure what they code in? The debugging jokes ("It works on my machine") land with every developer. Looking for a gift? See our hoodies too.
FAQ
What's a good t-shirt for a programmer who works in one language?
Pick a shirt for the language they use every day. We have tees for JavaScript, Go, Rust and PHP developers, plus frontend, backend and fullstack role shirts. If you don't know their stack, a coding-joke tee like "It works on my machine" is a safe choice.
Are these shirts funny to non-developers?
Honestly, mostly not. The jokes are written for developers. "It works on my machine" and "It's a feature, not a bug" are the most widely understood, so they're the best picks if your audience is mixed.
What sizes and fit do the t-shirts come in?
All tees are unisex. Every design comes in at least S, M, L, XL and 2XL, and many also come in XS or up to 4XL. The oversized tees have a looser, boxier cut. Each product page has a size chart. Check it before ordering, because the fit is unisex rather than a women's cut.
What's the difference between the printed, embroidered and oversized tees?
The classic tees are printed on soft unisex cotton. The embroidered tees are stitched on organic cotton for a more textured, premium finish. The oversized tees have a relaxed, boxy fit. All of them are made to order.
How long does shipping take, and will it arrive before Christmas?
Every tee is made to order. Production takes 2–5 business days, then standard shipping takes about 3–4 business days to the USA & Canada and 5–20 business days internationally after fulfillment. To get your order before Christmas, order by 26 November (15 November for knitwear and beanies).
Can I return or exchange a size?
We don't offer size exchanges or change-of-mind returns, because every item is made to order, so please check the size chart before you buy. If your item arrives misprinted, damaged or defective, email us at info@developer-shop.com with a photo within 4 weeks of delivery and we'll reprint it or refund you. See our refund policy for details.
