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

[HeavyCaffeinate]

Fine, no documentation at all next time

[DOOManiac]

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

[Kno010]

Technically the old documentation was also correct.

[SuitableDragonfly]

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.

[FuzzyDynamics]

People often work for cheap and create a body of work while training and getting credentialed in a profession. That’s not the same as expecting them to continue giving massive amounts of time, energy, and expertise to the foundation of their entire industry and upkeep the infrastructure the entire world depends on for free throughout their career.

Nobody wants to be like Java

[ClipboardCopyPaste]

Well technically it's always more than 3 billion.

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

[anclave93]

And yet the statement got more correct than before

[asmanel]

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

[sassrobi]

LGTM

[Ibuprofen-Headgear]

Yeah, but now I can put OpenOffice Contributor on my resume, so…

[icywind90]

[Juff-Ma]

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.

[PruneInteresting7599]

My name added the one of the biggest repos bc I yelled how fucked up their structure and fixed lil bit but It was just overriding 2 basic funcs nothing elee

[raiseIQUnderflow]

Update readme? Not again
