Saying something absurd isn’t automatically a joke that I am expected to get. This is humor on the same level as typing the N word in all caps or just lying. It’s not funny, it’s not clever.
Edit:
pro·lif·ic (adj)
marked by abundant inventiveness or productivity
Also you really just made a throwaway to insult someone's article?
While I respect the author for the goal here, I would say he was neither abundantly inventive nor productive.
His inventiveness boiled down to taking an existing concept, and saving some disk space using an already known algorithm. To boot - his method of saving that space rendered the original intent (preventing copywrite of melodies) useless, and was already considered by the original group.
His productivity was a single morning's work, creating a single album, which is just random noise and will never be meaningfully listened to even a single time.
I'm not going to begrudge him the usage in the title, and I think it's a fun weekend project, but I also think it's pretty clearly clickbait (which is fine!).
"Productivity is the efficiency of production of goods or services expressed by some measure."
An whole album with millions of melodies in just one morning is quite efficient :). Meaningful or deep, maybe not. But productive... yes!
"There are many different definitions of productivity (including those that are not defined as ratios of output to input) and the choice among them depends on the purpose of the productivity measurement and/or data availability."
So really what we're arguing about is the "purpose of the productivity measurement". I don't think "number of melodies that will never be listened to" is a particularly good measure for "DJ", but it is a great measure for a blog title.
