Loving it

If it had been a legitimate security finding and got his ass kicked anyway, it would have been the perfect level of self deprecating humor worthy of Leslie Nelson himself

Wasn't that what the Claud overflow bug was?

Leslie Nielsen said that that was the secret to great comedy. Serious actors delivering ridiculous nonsense in a serious manner. And don't call me Shirley.

Leslie Nielsen is an absolute legend as well.

Looks exhausting. I'd go with Deadpool instead:

edit: what a perfectly paced GIF. It's got rhythm.

You forgot to add all the malicious actors trying to take the project from you so they can attack the supply chain. Godspeed, anyone maintaining a popular VScode or chrome extension. You're the real troops.

Although I'd be the one suggesting the use of Rust in everything.

Clearly this one stopped all alcohole and glue sniffing weeks ago to achieve this physique. Legend says his dog is just as furious.

Such silly movies. Great. But very silly

I'm just using foss software and being grateful for the people who work tirelessly on maintaining a piece of software, most often in their own free time, that does just what it says on the box. I wouldn't even for a second consider demanding more from them.
