You’re so intense about it, I just want that there would be more right now !
Generally people make way to much assumption about software behavior «just work» is easily confused with «works as I personally expected»
You’re assuming too much, expecting too much, and get frustrated. I don’t think you deserve it, but I don’t think you have the right mindset about it either.
- ozim 2y agoLet’s not downvote the guy to oblivion. He is somewhat right. I think Easter eggs belong in computer games and user facing stuff like website or online forum. There shouldn’t be jokes in something like man or grep.
- tuyiown 2y agoYes, he and you should not be downvoted, I agree, I fully understand how one can want to never be bothered by others playfulness. But I'm in the team that software is made by people, and that should be reflected. Jokes, like always, must be respectful to strangers, and strangers have to be polite and allow others to express themselves, jokes are not a trap. There definitely should be jokes in man and grep, it's just have to be of good taste (this one was good). We're not in a high stake diplomatic field. Removing all the jokes by principle is just giving in to the great consensus leveler that crushes humanity. Embrace humanity, don't crush it.
- aniviacat 2y agoIs man not user facing?
- ozim 2y agoIf we define users as a subset of all users - by gamers and people who only visit websites or use web apps. But I expected it could be inferred from my post.
- NikkiA 2y agoThere are literally dozens of easter eggs in VMS/OpenVMS, while DEC were many things, and failed at the market ultimately, I don't think anyone accused them of being unprofessional.
