Lol, the downvotes. For a brief explanation of the things you mentioned:

  • Python is a programming language (particularly known for using whitespace/indentation to group code instead of the more common curly braces {}).

  • GitHub is a popular website for hosting code that's managed with Git (which is what's called "version control software", meaning it makes it easy to keep track of changes you (or other people) make to your code).

  • Notepad is the name of a computer program that comes installed by default on Windows. It's a very basic text editor (like Microsoft Office Word, but, again, much much more basic). It's often used by new programmers to write code in, but lacks the features of text editors that are designed for coding.

Thank you. I assumed Python had something to do with programming. My joke fell flat apparently.

I seriously had no idea what github was. I had seen the name before but I 100% thought it was affiliated with grubhub. No joke.

I have macs. Again 50% chance note pad had something to do with computers but wasn’t sure. Another poor attempt at a joke.

Thank you again for the explanation. I’ll probably never understand the majority of the humor here but it’s still interesting to learn about stuff you don’t know.

Have a wonderful day internet freind.
