Note to self: learn a lisp. Lisp people appear to be having more fun than the rest of us.

I had a lot of fun learning Clojure. While I don't use it in daily practice, I learned a lot about elegancy, the advantages of data immutability and using code as building blocks. For learning I used the 4clojure website where you can solve interactive coding puzzles and learn from solutions of others. See: https://4clojure.oxal.org
I got my first job furiously doing that for nights on end. It felt like cheating but it’s ultimately way faster than waiting potentially years to figure out those tricks on your own.
Is the title grammatically correct ? A verb is missing, don't you think... My mother tongue is french, thus I may be missing some pun.
It's since become a meme of sort as a more general way to flag as a joke that you've done something "accidentally" where a fully formed sentence would be more ambiguous.
E.g. "I accidentally created a scheme" might still not be entirely serious about it being an accident, but it's open to interpretation and sets a slightly more serious tone. "I accidentally a scheme" clearly signposts the title is at least in part a joke.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

People accidentally a scheme all the time. I first accidentalled a scheme in high school. I learned about S-types, which were to Lisp what JSON is to JavaScript. I made a language around then. Oops. Some would argue Brendan Eich of Netscape accidentalled a scheme in JavaScript, but others would argue that he didn't. Most accidental schemes are pretty bad, and the original JavaScript fits the bill, or it doesn't, depe…
I think Eich intentionallyed a scheme.
I want to frame this sentence and hang it on my wall.
As somebody with English as a second language, I hate it when "accidentally" is used as a verb.
