I would like to make an addendum to Poe's Law - a formal accepted response / solution to the dilemma. An extremist point of view should always be taken as sarcasm (or more accurately, as pisstake). Extremism should be derided as facile and ridiculous, but kind of funny - just like sarcasm. It is absurd whether the proponent regards it as such or not and as such should be treated with the sense of humour it deserves.

"Extremist" points of view are relative to the audience. At one point, scientists were 'extremists.'

Hiya! I'm the creator of this. I did not expect this to be here (nor did I especially want it to...). If it isn't painfully obvious, this is a joke, so please don't take it too seriously. Thanks!

I like it. And I always wondered why a programming language couldn't exist to work as follows: Start Run at 60 frames per second and do Clear the screen Draw a rectangle at (10,10) with size (100,50) and rotate it 20 degrees Repeat End Or something along those lines - hopefully you get my point. This would be fun for prototyping. I could just speak to my computer and have it translate my plain english into a working…

   To transition to monster card gallery:
   	animate the gallery-transition as a reel animation targeting the transition-container at 8 fps;
   	wait for main menu input until all animations are complete;
   	pause for 1000 milliseconds, accepting input;
   	now the image-ID of the transition-container is the image-ID of the card-container.

Front page of HN is exactly where this should be.

Yes. Absolutely! I'm getting so sick of "sprints" and Trello cards and test-driven-hubris... The Internet is falling apart; economies are going ape-shit everywhere... The least we can do is preserve this beautiful craft of programming, and have fun with it. Rather that deluding ourselves into believing that we need yet another Search-for-the-Thing-in-our-Company's-Metadata app.

This is really funny. I quite enjoyed it. I wouldn't take any serious comments here seriously. Unfortunately the distribution of sense-of-humour in the world is not even. Some get a bigger chunk of it than others. The next time anyone mentions CoffeeScript to me, I'll send them here. Much better.
