>"Je mange donc je chie." Roughly : "I eat therefore I shit" I never understood devs that do this, it reflects very poorly on them and it doesn't bring anything to the table. Way to show your immaturity. I write code since 2006, 99% of it is private and is mostly read by me and I still don't do this.

Sometimes it's OK to let loose and be a little immature. Life is short.

Some of the quotes are cancel-level inappropriate for 2022, though, so you may want to avoid promoting this topic in professional circles.

I guess a lot of non-French speakers will miss the real joke: "I think therefore I am" translates to "Je pense donc je suis", which rhymes well to the parody. Then it's not plainly immature, but somewhat elaborate.

Tip: Use "shift + scroll" to read long quotes.

I wish they would just use full width of my screen.

1280 pixels. This is the width that should be enough for everyone according to github.

(max-width in .container-xl. Why did they put that there? The website looks perfectly fine without it)
