xkcd did it

xkcd is now the Simpsons of programming.

1) Fairly amusing but generally not hilarious plots.

2) So many of them that everything has been done, so whenever you think of something that you think is original, you find out Simpsons/xkcd already did it.

In before butthurt, jealousy etc.
 
It's like every conversation you have, there's always someone who says "oh, hang on, I have a relevant xkcd link."

FUCK OFF!!!!

It's best when someone thinks xkcd thought of something first, because that's where that someone first saw the idea.

It's brilliant when that happens.

xkcd did it. OP is Randall Munroe.

I agree completely, except that xkcd isn't even funny, most of the time.

This might surprise you, but I invented XKCD

What does the X stand for in XKCD?

the programming-related content of xkcd is a great reminder of how clueless my classmates were when I was in college

HI, I'M RANDALL MUNROE, FOUNDER AND CEO OF XKCD. LAST NIGHT, AS I WAS RELAXING IN MY BALL PIT, DEBUGGING THE SUPER SOAKER FIRMWARE I AM DEVELOPING IN PYTHON, YOUR MOM HAPPENED TO PASS BY, LOOKING MYSTERIOUS AND QUIRKY. I CONSIDERED IT A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE HER TO MY THICK LINE. I SPREAD HER PARALLEL SEGMENTS WITH MY UPPER STICKS, THEN I TAPPED HER INTERSECTION WITH MY THICK LINE, AT FIRST SLOWLY, THEN I ACCELERATED LOGARITHMICALLY UNTIL MY THICK LINE PRODUCED THINNER LINES. OR AT LEAST, THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID. I GUARANTEE IT.

Well it's like the simpsons except it's not actually funny, but the simpsons is.

Holy fucking hell that hurt. I program in Scheme, so visualising this just made me shit myself.
