It is developed by Docker, Inc. White Hat was complaining about how everyone was using Docker, and then Cueball went on about how he wanted to use a tablet as a wall display. He went on about how he tried programming it, but he eventually gave up and glued two smartphones together. The joke is that he achieved software enlightenment, even though he didn't code any software. |
− | + | Many (most? all?) programmers these days rely heavily on previously written code found online, eg StackExchange. This has the advantage that it takes less work, and if it's well written and documented, can be easily customised for the specific task and environment at hand. It has the disadvantage that it's also easy to incorporate it into other software without fully understanding how it works; in theory, an entire program can be developed from such code, by "gluing together stuff that you don't understand". | |
