First one probably a better joke

R Steadman • Oct 7 '25

I'm stumped, the first one is actually okay and not batsh*t crazy, including the slightly angled text on his shirt. That's a first as far as I know.

you will notice that when the backend dev implements the fix, it actually works.

The actual fix: output filter on the http-server that uses a regex to insert a script tag before </body> to add 20 click event handlers on the document root 😂

in all honesty, though, the amount of stuff you can do in nginx is pretty astounding and everyone just seems to ignore it.

Yea, nginx is magic :D

One time I spent 4 hours trying to figure out why a class wasn't applying in dev. I was looking at prod the whole time.

~~that's only correct if you assume the rectangle is axis-aligned, otherwise you need at least three points~~

daniele • Oct 10 '25

Please go study definition of rectangle.

𒎏Wii 🏳️‍⚧️ • Oct 23 '25

Explain which of these isn't a rectangle and why

daniele • Oct 27 '25

You just need to assume that the two vertices are opposite each other,
based on tha fact that a rectangle has 4 rect angles by definition.

"Explain which of these isn't a rectangle and why" the one without four 90° angles.

𒎏Wii 🏳️‍⚧️ • Oct 28 '25

Please point out the angle that isn't 90 degrees

Fun story: it actually happened to me a couple of weeks ago (it was staging though, not prod). I test the fix moro thoroughly, and it still breaks. Again and again.

Turns out a new package was published on npm in the meanwhile, and although the new version was just a patch, it accidentally brought breaking changes to our codebase...
