    42 is from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. They built an enormous computer called Deep Thought that was the most powerful ever built to calculate the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything. The computer, after 75 million years of processing, came up with 42. The confused crowd that gathered to hear the answer did not understand. Turns out, 42 is the correct answer, but what is the question?

    So after that, they decide to build another computer, which is planet Earth, to figure out the question.

    It was still calculating when it was destroyed by the Vogons to make space for a hyperspace bypass.









  • It’s not hard to do when literally 90% of people, young and old, are buried in their phone each and every day you go to work on public transportation, many of them with this stupid smile on their faces they exchange silly things with their loved ones. I find it so fascinating and pretty funny to witness, so it’s easy to make a joke about.

    And then I realize that I’m on my phone as well. 🤣 At least not while I’m walking, I just can’t do it. I have keep an eye out and dodge those that do, haha.

    If you think I’m exaggerating, come walk around here for a bit!

    Stack Overflow usage has always come with the condition that you understood what the answer was doing and that it actually applied to your problem, on top of feeling that it looked like a high quality solution to it instead of crappy code. I mean, I guess in that sense, the people who blindly copied everything from the internet were the first vibe coders…
