I thought it was kind of funny. I have a long list of satirical code stored<br>
in my personal files, and a few classic Usenet posts of this nature as well.<br>
This is the first time anything like this has ever been called "toxic" that<br>
I can remember.<br>
<br>
Let's go back and beat people over the head with our new morality about that<br>
rather in-depth April Fool's joke about C having been "a practical joke".<br>
<br>
Being a real jerk would be to start actually calling Node.js people stupid.<br>
Satirizing a situation that should have never happened is a light-hearted<br>
way of leaving an artifact in the net somewhere, a cautionary notice of a<br>
sort, that is easy to remember (because it was funny) and reference mentally<br>
the next time *we* are creating a new system and run the risk of painting<br>
ourselves into the same sort of corner.<br>
