So apparently the variable names foo and bar come from an old military term FUBAR which means f-ed up beyond all recognition.... Those OG UNIX guys hid their memes really well

I really like most of this community... but it really sucks to see people just call harmless jokes sexist... like if you want to start a discussion on whether it is or not is all well and good.... but just commenting to say you think something is sexist really takes away from not only the post, but the overall light-hearted feel of this place...

I was trying to move a Zend app from one server to another once. there were actually 3 apps running on 2 different servers, an idle rabbit server, and the code in prod was vastly different than what was on the repo. the docs the previous dev wrote were literally the about pages for the tech used.

I remember he had a Windows server running something... all the docs said was "for long processes".... there wasn't a single process ever running on it.

A little while ago, my hackathon group started using Go more than Node....

I had to ask...

Where did all the Node hype Go?
