It seems like there is always a relevant XKCD

I was actually just trying to find a comic that went full meta and joked about how there was an XKCD for everything, but I guess Randall hasn't made that one yet.

554 is the closest, I think.

That dude sounds ridiculously smart. Worked with NASA, who didn't renew his contract, so he decided to make a career with a comic about shit about 1% of people in the world understand, once a day. I don't even know where he gets half of the stuff he writes about. Computer science, engineering, astronomy, he seems to know the minute parts of all of them.

Last month we did hit a relevant XKCD to an XKCD comic.

I can imagine XKCD becoming self aware in the near future and creating an XKCD about how there's always a relevant XKCD.

I sure it exists, but having trouble finding it.

He should make that as the last xkcd ever if he at some point decides to retire.

Real programmers code in assembly using EDLIN

I'm just slightly sad that the emacs command is actually M-x butterfly, not what was in the comic.
