- What the...?
- Hey, item X isn't a bug!
- Can you include bug XYZ in your list?
- What should be included in this list?
- One of your links or descriptions are mean, you jerk!
- Where do I submit spelling or other similar mistakes?
- Why haven't you included XYZ in your list? It's awesome!
Okay, so, first of all- This repo is a joke. It's all a joke. Don't take anything here too seriously.
The issues and things linked to in this list are things I find funny. You might not find them funny, and if that's the case, the onus is on you to develop your obviously under-performing sense of humor.
This is not intended to generate brigades! Please don't be a jerk and go to the linked issues, mailing lists, and projects and harass or malign those people involved. Leave them alone.
I'll admit I include things that aren't, exactly, bugs (such as patches and similar things). It's all related, and I think it all fits thematically.
Maybe. Possibly. Feel free to submit a PR with any bugs you find funny. I may or may not use it. If I do use it, I may add my own comments to it. If I don't use it I may not give any reason why, so don't expect it.
The thing is, as I said in the description, this is an opinionated list. So I'll tend to only include things I find funny.
But I'm not omniscient, I'm certain there are funny bugs and things out there that should be included in this list but which I'm yet to encounter. So please, submit PRs away.
It's semi-hazy, but, really, anything that fits could be included in this list. This includes things like:
- Funny bugs/issues
- Funny patches
- Funny glitches
- Funny code
I guess the one big caveat is that everything has to be real. No joke bugs (e.g., bug reports that exist solely as a joke, like this or the myriad from Mozilla's issue tracker like this or this) should ever be included (mainly because they are too numerous, often of dubious humor, and are "low-hanging fruit"). Real issues or code that is humorous are more rare and far more valuable, IMHO.
I'll readily admit I'm not fit for polite company.
As I said above don't take the things I say here too seriously. Yes, I dislike Javascript (and how it's taking over EVERYTHING... ARGH! NODE!) and yes, I dislike PHP. But any things I say about them (or anything else) in this list should be considered light hearted ribbing. Don't take any of it personally.
(In all honesty, some of the engineers I personally respect the most are either Javascript developers or have been involved with PHP at some point in their career.
File an issue, submit a PR, whatever. If I get to it, I get to it. If not, meh....
I'll admit I'm being selective about what to include here, and have, deliberately, excluded many things. (Hey, it's curated, remember?)
I really want this list to be more for ones people may not have heard of before. If something was or is high profile enough that everyone probably already knows about it (e.g., the Y2K bug) then I probably wont be including it.
