This reminds me of the time a random hacker got GTAV load time from 5 minutes to 30 seconds because they discovered it was doing bonehead-coding and patched one statement at runtime

@WiteRabit one of the stories was the “Drew what’s the LD50 of butter challenge” thing. Which died as an idea when I went to ask @Metlstorm for the mic so I could ask 400 hackers to chip in

To this day I’ll never forget the look of anguish and despair that crossed his face. I was like “never mind I’m, I’m just gonna go”.

Oh my god the rap :O
we live in the real life silicon valley comedy: - two young prodigal hacker/founders are at each others throats building competing AI pin startups - both startups are named Friend - one spends 1.8M to buy the Friend domain and launches on international friendship day - the other responds with a diss rap video

There are 10 Excel users on the planet for every 1 computer programmer. Speaking as someone who has been a coder for 40 of my 46 years, computer programming is very silly and wildy dissonant to how humans actually think, which is why it is hard and why so many are so bad at it.

Lol, I think it depends on the context. I deal with a lot of web server admins on Linux and they are not necessarily an elite force with a deep understanding of their OS.

bwaha even says WORLDSTARRR
NEW: Wild fight breaks out on a Carnival cruise ship to Central America at 3am after "a bunch of drunk girls from Tampa" had a disagreement. This narrator did a tremendous job. 43-year-old passenger Nick Richardson said he was going to get some pizza when he walked into a war zone. "Those girls were already set on what they were gonna do. It just got out of hand very, very quickly. And that’s how it happens. You’re just drinking too much," Richardson said. Carnival released a statement about the incident, saying the guests involved were fined and are banned from sailing again. "As is our policy, we will not tolerate such behavior and the guests involved were fined and will not sail on Carnival Cruise Line again," they said.
