Developer Forum Joke Response Coincidence

  • Developer Forum Joke Response Coincidence

  • A humorous coincidence from replying with a mock line number on a help forum.
  • The Random Answer

    • On August 10, 2024, I shared a joke I often play on developer help forums when users ask "what is wrong with my code?" without providing any code snippets.
    • I frequently respond with a made-up guess, such as "check line 72" or "your problem is on line 47."
    • I recalled a surprising incident where a user replied a few minutes later, saying, "Yeah, that's where it was, thank you," leaving me completely astonished.
These facts are as Randal recalls them, but much time has passed for most of this. If you find a factual error, please email realmerlyn@gmail.com.
