- MichaelApproved 12y agoPR are not the place for jokes. Developers have enough to do managing their projects, they don't need to waste time sorting through jokes. You might say, "it's just one joke, what's the big deal?" One joke, attracts others. Everyone thinks they're funny and their joke with worth everyone else's time to read it. If PR become a place that's acceptable to make jokes, it'll be flooded with noise.
- integraton 12y ago> PR are not the place for jokes. There's a well-established tradition of pull requests and issues being used for commentary and humor. Here's a selection. The first one is by the founder CEO of a company with a ~$1B valuation that's prepping for an IPO and is very similar to the one everyone here is complaining about. The second one has comments from a couple well-known tech folks. And so on... https://github.com/saberma/shopqi/pull/409 https://github.com/saberma/shopqi/pull/409 https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/pull/1074 https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/pull/1074 https://github.com/ericf/yui3-gallery/pull/21 https://github.com/ericf/yui3-gallery/pull/21 https://github.com/WhiteHouse/fortyfour/issues https://github.com/WhiteHouse/fortyfour/issues https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/2472 https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/2472 But apparently now that Microsoft is using GitHub, everything is Serious Business™? Is there a dress code now, too?
- urda 12y agoYeah those were all unhelpful, trash. Our point exactly.
- urda 12y ago... uh GitHub Pull Requests are not a place for jokes that's why.
