;Change to the header text - is it related to the comic? | ;Change to the header text - is it related to the comic? | ||
I have updated the [[Design_of_xkcd.com#Header_text|header text]] section on the [[Design of xkcd.com]] page with the [[Design_of_xkcd.com#2019-04-23|new header text]] out with this comic. I can see that in the "loong" explanation someone has mentioned Google Reader already, probably because of this. So I have also added a link to this change to the explanation. How relevant is Google reader for this comic, and is that actually a reason to expect the comic is about computer programming and not inventions... (As per the [[#To include or not to include|To include or not include section]] here below)? --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 16:03, 24 April 2019 (UTC) | I have updated the [[Design_of_xkcd.com#Header_text|header text]] section on the [[Design of xkcd.com]] page with the [[Design_of_xkcd.com#2019-04-23|new header text]] out with this comic.

: I put it back because I think it's useful to show that there really are people/industries who behave as Beret Guy does, and who get burned by it. I could go for shifting it over into the 'trivia' section. --[[User:NotaBene|NotaBene]] ([[User talk:NotaBene|talk]]) 20:14, 24 April 2019 (UTC) | : I put it back because I think it's useful to show that there really are people/industries who behave as Beret Guy does, and who get burned by it.

::Which is in my opinion covered by "even if it wasn't initially designed to handle the task for which it is being used and thus may have unintended side effects or other issues." This part (or the part before that) could be generalized some more so it applies not only to code and programmers but engineering in general and it would be sufficient to explain the comic.
