I have heard people say that good times create weak men, and looking at how the alt right have risen and how much "alpha males" are concerned about their masculinity, I would have to say that we have had some great times.

Also, I would never consider myself an alpha male, that is far too unstable, at best I am probably a decent release candidate, good enough to be sent to production, but needing a few patches to get a few bugs worked out.

Does stability reflect it's likelihood to crash, or it's frequency of updates in this analogy.

Also is the pickup line "I got a rolling release personally" good?

Programmer humour in the wrong community

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Sorry, but yeah, some programming humor, though it seems to fit.

Alpha - the first working versions of a software, used to verify concepts, but is often very unstable, and outright broken in places

Beta - mostly working version, core is stable, but some features are still buggy.

Release candidate - works well enough that it could be the release version of a software, all specified features are in place, it is polished and the team working on it is focused on testing it to make sure it is ready.

I was rather drunk and apparently only read half your comment, lmao

Thanks for the explanation anyway!
