Yeah, okay, I get the joke. Developer who doesn’t compile code, but makes code compile itself. In other words, “please notice how hip we are, we are using jokes from 2004 in our job synopsis!” This is certainly not the first time I’ve heard an odd association applied to programmers.

So I haven’t done a comic in a while, but due to recent events my feeble artistry demanded vengeance. Thus I cry “havoc!”, and let slip the keystrokes of war. [Warning: lots of not funny text ahead.] Let us begin with the Great Tragedy of Robert Ebert. His infamous “video games can never be art” [...]

Earth Hour, Meet Science

The Large Hadron Collider says, "Take that, Mother Earth."
