@whitequark How do you make it this far into LLVM with your innocence intact? This thing got me right when I started out in C, following the K&R book. That book has a full implementation of a C declaration to English translator.

@paninid @infosec_jcp @simonzerafa @GossiTheDog Like “no atheists in fox holes,” that’s much more an argument against pushing to prod on Fridays than it is against atheism.

There are no atheists in fox holes because we refuse to die in pointless religious wars, and no atheists in Friday-prod-deployment-went-south-all-hands-on-deck situations because we have the sense to, you know, not do that.

@aral @pcambra @drupalchix @alcinnz @drupalassoc I am from his purported “culture,” and I assure you that this is emphatically not our culture.
