“Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken” - Chuck
I can't tell if you're actually quoting the show Chuck or just summarizing charles_f's comment and attributing it to "Chuck", which is a nickname for Charles.
For those who would like a slightly more technical overview of this subject, I can recommend this research paper: https://isotropic.org/papers/chicken.pdf
Yeah, the paper provides good insight into the phenomenon. Doug also gives a really good presentation on the same material: https://youtu.be/yL_-1d9OSdk
The industry I'm in, it's very weird. Why did I choose this life, again?
If you are interested in chicken to this degree your theme song is. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=unW7UYXSQNY
Learning how to speak chicken is not becoming a chicken. That's a frequent misconception that borders cultural appropriation. Chickens aren't just about a few bock-bock and cockle-doodle-doos. They have a rich set of physical expressions as well (flap flaps, head kicks, grating the soil, etc) and a vibrant culture that is transmitted between generations. Their philosophy on death and their capacity to always see life…
I wonder if this is a parody of all those comments/articles about quitting programming to go into carpentry, or woodworking, or farming, etc. I no longer build software - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24541964 Why software engineers like woodworking - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31687378 Death of a Programmer, Life of a Farmer - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9492110 --- The author also has some…
As both the guilty party behind "I no longer build software" and the keeper of some chickens, I'd just like to suggest that anyone who wants to get out of software strongly consider woodworking over becoming a chicken. I still have all ten fingers. For comparison, we have acquired fifteen chickens over the last two and a half years and now have five . We lost two to a bear that broke into the coop[0], turned an aggre…
I was programming at home for my job last week and heard my free reigning chickens make a lot of noise. Went outside and saw a coyote with one of them in it's mouth. I chased it away. I'm sick of being in front of a screen all day, but grateful I don't have to worry about being killed by wild animals on a daily basis.
Do chickens actually worry about this?

Trigger Warning: may elicit images of graphic violence. Although I agree with your general sentiment, I feel your comment should have been prefixed with a trigger warning. Use of the term ‘sunny-side’ is problematic and insensitive, particularly when used to describe children of chickens.

On the other hand, learning to talk like a duck and walk like a duck does quality a programmer to identify as a duck, provided they work in Python.
The code in the article is Javascript, written by a chicken and I feel there’s a lesson there somewhere.
