I can't tell if this is in earnest or sarcastic.
Sentiment analysis as a rigorous process exists to help machines that do not possess natural emotion processing to understand human sentiments. If you are the one having your own sentiments, why would you offload that to a machine? Unless you have a broken emotional processing center yourself, but in that case I doubt you could record meaningful sentiments either.

I thought it was a pretty good joke poking fun at the software-engineers-with-Asperger’s stereotype. If it wasn’t intended that way, even more hilarious. :-D

I thought it was a joke at first too, but their other comments seem to indicate they either really likes sticking to their comedy context, or they were serious.
