So long and thanks for all the bugs!

I hope @sam sticks around, even if just as one of us regular chuckleheads.
Do you believe he would want to belong to an organization that would have him as a member?
-
I was reading some things and I ended up at a blog post from several years ago. It seems that nothing has changed.
-
You mean TDWTF overreacting? Because that's what that article is about.
-
Except it's from 2007 about the community reacting to Jeff when Jeff was first a guest poster around here... and the community finds his presence just as irritating.
-
Just pointing out the article is taking Jeff's side...
-
You mean the article it links called 'our dirty little secret' that was written by Jeff?
I found it rather sarcastically on our side.

Reading the article on TDWTF that provoked that respone, I found this bit of advice from Jeff: "Take less capable developers under your wing. Mentor them. Provide them with guidance".We heeded that advice. This community took Jeff under its wing, told him where he was wrong and how he could build a better software.
Did it help? No.
But Jeff also offered an alternative: "Or you could just post their code on Worse Than Failure for us to laugh at."
I certainly see more Discourse Side Bar WTF topics ahead.

Look what arrived in the post today!

stackoverflow...?

Bonfire time?
-
I got mine today too!

I didn't. No way was I giving @codinghorror my real name or address.
-
I'm not necessarily against that, so long as it stays disconnected from @boomzilla, but general sloth prevented me from requesting anything.

Are you experiencing burning jealousy right now?

Jealous of being able to burn Discourse stickers?

That seems like something that would take some effort to keep up, so, no. Wait...are those stickers or magnets?
-
-
Stickers.
Ah, then no. If you got some magnets, I'd be pretty damn envious.

So you are one of the hapless fellow who has given out his address to these people. I mean they could trace you through their IP, but you just sold your privacy for one sticker.

Six stickers. Totally worth it.
When they send more marketing brochure to your hose, then you will realise that the six stickers were cheaper to buy.

Pedantic Dickweeds know that jealousy is almost always used incorrectly
True (although I question "almost always"), it is often used where envy is meant:
[T]he word typically refers to the negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something of great personal value, particularly in reference to a human connection... In its original meaning, jealousy is distinct from envy, though the two terms have popularly become synonymous in the English language, with jealousy now also taking on the definition originally used for envy alone.

Six hose stickers:

Do you need my address for postage?
-
Nah, I'll just go rummage through /admin and dig it out from there...
-
Do you need my address for postage?
I am already having your address, but I am not sending my package to you under any circumstances.
-
but I am not sending my package to you under any circumstances
Mentioning it was quite enough, thank you.
-
But only one I like

+1 for wooden table lacking in earlier post
-
That looks like you could turn it into a pretty nice avatar!
-
Your stickers got folded.
-
They're the peel-off-the-back-in-two-pieces kind.
-
I really just want to know why discourse shipped stack overflow stickers.
-
Egregious self promotion.
-
Jeff probably had some lying around that nobody wanted. They definitely weren't printed the same way the Discourse stickers were.
-

Yes - I requested stickers, but under an entirely different name/everything.
-
The only reason I considered requesting stickers was to ensure Jeff gets charged for sending them to me, but I figured it was possibly a bit much of me to do that.
-

Because they realize nobody's going to stick a Discourse sticker anywhere for the risk of getting stuffed in a locker and having their lunch money taken?

I wanna see Jeff spending major dollars to send marketing brochures via air mail to the other side of the world.
-

Stickers. :-o
Not just stickers, but also a kick ass handwritten envelope. The ink is a funny red/brown colour though...

I pimped my Mustache Monitor further, conveniently located at a wooden table. Also featured is 50% of the paper pages on my desk. If by any chance somebody could make out what I have written please let me know because I for sure can't make sense of it anymore.
So far I have stickers for 3 pieces of software that I don't really like. Does somebody have an oracle sticker to complete my collection?

That somewhat indicates that there are only 4 pieces of software you don't really like. That's not much. You might want to find some inspiration at dreckstool.de. BTW Discoarse isn't mentioned there, yet.
-
No it's just that I have stickers of these three.
I should also get stickers for: oracle, our shitty helpdesk software, 75% of the crap that is made here, several VPN and remote desktop solutions, Citrix and that are only the ones I encountered this morning.
