Also, bonus points if "you are gay" is actually communicating some relevant bit of information.

It's relevant because it's the only timestamp in those logs _{90% sure on this}

He got offered a job that paid a fair bit better than here. This was a few months ago and afaik the forums don't have a full-time coder at the moment.

I seem to recall he had a tendency to claim all feature requests, no matter how minor, would be in the next version of the forums, some massive project he was working on in secret which had a codename I don't recall. It turned out to be vaporware in the end. As soon as the new guy got brought in new features actually started showing up, multiple quoting being one of them.

Would it be legally permissible to sell the forums software or does the derivation-from-vbulletin license prohibit that?

No, I meant, like. I knew someone who put a "Kano Transformations: 5" at the bottom of every page on the site; it was representing the state of eight different bits of information (so it could be 0-255)

Similarly, I wonder if "you are gay" is communicating some information about the state of the system, like maybe sometimes it won't show up, or it will be slightly different.

Also, as stupid as most of these error messages are, at least you can easily search the code base for them. It drives me insane when the same log message can come from ten different places in the code.

Edit: that's assuming that he didn't use "someone has stolen your trees" in ten different places.

The curious thing here is that while standardizing a syntax for type
annotations, we technically still won't be adopting standard rules for type
checking. This is intentional. First of all, fully specifying all the type
checking rules would make for a really long and boring PEP (a much better
specification would probably be the mypy source code). Second, I think it's
fine if the type checking algorithm evolves over time, or if variations
emerge. The worst that can happen is that you consider your code correct
but mypy disagrees; your code will still run.

Wasn't that because some guy had ignored most of the users,and every page view was very inefficiently checking that?

I remember at one point hearing that Titan was going to be built on the Catalyst framework, a Perl MVC web framework that I'd best describe as "Rails for people who have some Stockholm Syndrome-esque attachment to Perl." It is a horror unto itself, just check out the docs for the standard simple CRUD example.
