As steveklabnik noted above, Hacker News does not have a meme-y culture. Just because you made a joke doesn't mean it's inherently immune to criticism, especially when using the lowest-effort, most-overdone meme around agentic development adds nothing to the discussion. Get new material.

For this one, yes it does. Go search this one up yourself. [0]

Literally everyone in the comments in [0] and even the author of this post acknowledges the joke except for you two.

It. Is. A. Joke. Calm down.

No one is arguing that. It's OK that you won't admit that you didn't get it either.

You're being over-dramatic. Why is that you can't take a simple joke? Surely you've never joked on this site before.

  • Everyone is calm. Many are just tired of you not taking a hint.

    • Except for those who did not get the joke and felt offended / embarrassed that they didn't and it shows in their replies to me.

      It is not my fault if two people missed the joke and that is OK.

  • Its not even that, its one of the most overdone jokes as your link suggests.

    • In your "opinion". So are you going to stop people from making "overdone" jokes on this site or others using variations of it from now on? Or is it only mine?

      My link suggests that is it just a joke and it is fine if you do not get it.
