I hereby declare myself this instance's foremost Star Wars Prequel Defender.

Being a programmer is turning me into an anarchist: I always seem to want to eliminate state.

all that partying was a mistake. now I gotta sign up for remedial blade studies

"Your first mistake," 8BOL seems to say, "was thinking you could do anything right." For this reason I intend to fund development of 8BOL by auctioning off the right to name the compiler after a donor's parent

This experiment arguably results in an artifact asserting the philosophical belief that nonexistence is morally preferable to existence, i.e. that the best stance is to prevent bad programs from coming into being.

I intend to demonstrate this principle in my new programming language that I'm inventing: 8BOL, which doesn't stand for anything.

8BOL is a non-functional programming language. The language specification indicates that programming in 8BOL doesn't work, and the reference implementation of the compiler simply rejects all inputs as invalid programs.

functional programming, eh? well, here's the thing: it's much harder to make harmful mistakes in a programming language that doesn't function

too tired to make good decisions such as going to sleep

I'm going to pull myself up by somebody else's bootstraps

sources close to the matter advise me that the nature of the position is likely such that I'd need to multiply my standard "evil surcharge" so I think I'm just gonna ignore it

it seems an Amazon recruiter found me somehow. do you think they'd be dissuaded if I told 'em I wanted $400k and 70 vacation days a year, or should I go even higher

I'm totally beat after a long day of resting. I've earned a break

Smilin' Stan wasn't just blowing smoke up our asses about the surprise on the back of the sweatshirt, either. that's all I'll say

for reference

I don't think there's a single video game in which, if it were an option, I wouldn't install a mod allowing the main character to wear the famous "here comes the Incredible Hulk" sweatshirt
