Sorry what's the minivan reference?

it's just a stand-in for "expensive but relatable purchase". He's saying "I'm about to write so many bugs that the sum reward will be in the tens of thousands"

  • It's also foolish. Any true PHB has caps on bonuses linked to output that would be too low to enable a minivan.

I assume a cycle of write bug -> fix bug -> get paid until they can afford a new car!

It would have been a sports car but Wally’s not the type.

  • The strip came out in 1995, at the peak of the minivan boom, with around 1.3M units sold that year.
