  What is the history here and how on Earth is this considered appropriate for a manual? Even if this is tongue in cheek it's still way too unhinged to be taken as a joke, or a "Mondays right?" type of comical rant. This is dark, and I'm surprised this person hasn't actually gone off the deep end....

    I can't imagine someone writing this as a joke... hope whoever wrote that got the help they needed (it's from 1994, but I'm too afraid to look up who wrote it and what happened).

      It's a joke. Olin Shivers is currently a professor in CS at Northeastern University.

    There are numerous old threads about this page (and in fact many other writings/rants by the same author) - for example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21668685 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21668685
