At first I thought this article was going to be a parody. But as I kept reading I cannot believe that this article is actually serious! I am very doubtful if the said properties of "jugaad" in this article are correct. I don'

It is what they call "hero image" these days. Who even comes up with these terms? I dislike it. An unrelated "hero image" of Javascript code plugged into a COBOL article (and the article is pretty good, to be fair) is wh

Your parent comment was probably sarcastic and I appreciate the sarcasm. It does not take a lot for a post to come to front page. It takes only 4-5 people who care to view the 'new' page at the same time the post was hanging there

What you say does not contradict what PG said. That is how limits are defined, technically.
