    I’m a programmer. In 2010 I had a boss come up to me and tell me we should start using APIs. He had just read an article about how APIs were the next big thing. Fortunately he had a short attention span and soon wandered off and never mentioned APIs again, and I was able to get back to work on the awesome Blackberry app I was writing.

      Don’t leave the rest of us in suspense; should we be using APIs???

      I think the best possible response to a question like this is just to say “yes”, and refuse to elaborate further.

    It’s funny, but :

    1. Why are you posting a picture of the official app UI of Reddit?
    2. Why a post from more than a decade ago?

    In fairness, I can see why he might think this was a music CD

        Live at the legendary venue, LTS. Pretty sure that’s the backstage where Axl Rose came up with Sweet Child O Mine or something.

    Was wondering why they were using a 12 year old live CD. Then I realized the post itself was 12 years old.

    I like my Live CDs like I like my scotch.

    Your boss should listen to DBAN! Their new stuff sucks but their classics were amazing. They opened for Erasure.

    Was on a vacay in Cuba about 13 years ago, wearing a Slackware 1337 tee…

    dude by the pool, “Love the shirt, I think I’ve seen that brand before…!”

      Ok but unironically there is almost certainly a garage death metal band in Sweden calling themselves debian
