Sorry that nobody else got it, but I like that joke.

No, plenty of us got it. It's just not funny right now.
A person is trying to find a real solution to a real problem they have. Every comment in this thread represents a potential hope that someone knows how to fix it. When someone comes in to a serious thread that is spitballing ideas and tries to make it about them by cracking jokes and being fun and clever, it's annoying. I know this because for about 8 years I was the guy trying to crack jokes in these threads.
This is not the time to make some kind of point about the state of modern software engineering - do that in a thread where people are bullshitting, not trying to work a problem. It's not ever really funny. It's noise. It doesn't help anything. It's not too subtle, it's just obnoxious.
Watch as I come up with a random reason you're wrong.
The OP could see it and laugh and that could possibly lighten their day and help them relax.
Wait, no. That's positive, online we're only supposed to bash men, hitler, and take everything in the most negative light possible. I should have instead judged you as a hateful person who has a horrible life and no friends.
Too subtle for HN but I don’t mind.
