There’s a similar joke of a guy who joined customer support for a phone network provider in my country just to cancel his own contract.

They wouldn't have had to go through all that effort if they'd just open sourced the code in the first place

Sometimes, you’ve gotta fix it yourself

I can only wonder what sort of bug drove them that far.

This reminds me of the story of that guy who joined Twitter just to fix an annoying login bug. He submitted his resignation just after the fix got merged in.

So we try to populate this community with the same 10 jokes? Kinda hoped we would get some new stuff on here

If it's anything like the subreddit was, it'll go through multi-year cycles where it alternates back and forth between funny original jokes and reposting the same thing every week.

It's called programmer humor for a reason: we're just using established libraries instead of inventing a bicycle from scratch.

a shitty script for you.

import repost.js as r

while true do

if r.lastpost() > 24h then

r.postmeme()

endif

done
