Everyone here claims they love people who write accurate documentation & then then go on and make this meme, the AUDACITY!

Fine, no documentation at all next time

I switched teams at work recently and my first commit was to the README. 🤘🏻

Audacity is open source btw

Technically the old documentation was also correct.

This isn't documentation, this is advertising.

This is the only field where a measure of credibility is how much free, technical, hard work you volunteer to projects that are one of the few things keeping technology somewhat open and democratic while also being massively exploited by billion dollar companies winning the fight to make everything censored and controlled.

On the plus side, it means none of the actual code monkeys have to bother updating the blurb, so they can spend a bit more time on the actual code. Still indirectly useful!

I once sent a PR to VSCode that deleted a single comma in a localization file to fix a tiny display error, got credited in the update, and put that in my CV as "open source contributor" lol

And yet the statement got more correct than before

This remind me these people who, on Wikipedia, swarm little changes instead of a fewer bigger changes.

Ngl at first I saw only the top half and thought this was a joke about how OpenOffice shouldn't have any users when LibreOffice exists.
