Found this in our code today

Found this on mastodon:

I sometimes imagine that somewhere there must be a Ministry for Messing Up the Internet. It would be like a Monty Python sketch.

Each day a new idea would arrive in the intray of an official who looks like a young John Cleese. They would form a large pile of papers.

[reads] "Make a protocol so complicated that nobody can understand it. No the Sematic Web has already been tried".

[reads] "Ban all the cat photos for spurious copyright reasons. No, we already have an upload filter in progress to do that".

[reads] "Fill Tim Berners-Lee's socks with elephants. No - much too silly."

"Ah yes, [reads] make a giant man in the middle that everything on the internet has to go through like a sausage machine and get squirted out on the other side, hopefully in the correct order. Bernard, get Cloudflare on the phone immediately."

"These Monty Python references in Python tutorials are hilarious." Said no one ever.

It should have been named Monty and not Python. It is so misleading, now everyone thinks it is because of the snake

To whom it may concern:
The Monty Python argument skit does not exist.

I think we should call python programmers "Montyneers" am I right ?

#For people that don't know what I'm talking about: Python's name originates from Monty Python's flying circus.
