לא בדיוק בדיחה... אבל אני נקרעתי מצחוק בפסקה הזאת: ...Websites that are glorified shopping carts with maybe three dynamic pages are maintained by teams of people around the clock, because the truth is everything is breaking all the time, everywhere, for everyone. Right now someone who works for Facebook is getting tens of thousands of error messages and frantically trying to find the problem before the whole charade collapses. Theres a team at a Google office that hasnt slept in three days. Somewhere theres a database programmer surrounded by empty Mountain Dew bottles whose husband thinks shes dead. And if these people stop, the world burns. Most people dont even know what sysadmins do, but trust me, if they all took a lunch break at the same time they wouldnt make it to the deli before you ran out of bullets protecting your canned goods from roving bands of mutants. You cant restart the internet. Trillions of dollars depend on a rickety cobweb of unofficial agreements and good enough for now code with comments like TODO: FIX THIS ITS A REALLY DANGEROUS HACK BUT I DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG that were written ten years ago.... זהב טהור: stilldrinking.org/programming-sucks (כן כן כולכם מכירים חוץ ממני, תחכו עם זעקות הריפוסט למחר כי היום יש סערה אז סגרתי את החלון ואני לא ישמע.)
