Dear God, I could not imagine someone who has a life. These people just don't know what they are missing with CS trivia that they will, in all likelihood, never use! They might even gasp have friends and hobbies outside of work. I am deeply offended, no, horrified at the thought of these people existing in MY workplace! Now, if you'll excuse me I must read the scriptures by the apostle Knuth and pray for these poor apostates to find their way home.

This is borderline /r/atheism levels of hubris. You could replace this entire post with "in this moment I am euphoric" and it would lose no semantic meaning. It's actually funny enough and so on the nose I wouldn't be surprised this was satire. I wish I could say more. Congratulations. Your post completely encompasses the poe's law variant specifically tailored to the deep craniorectal embedding the terminally online here have.
On a serious note it is difficult to take such a post seriously. I have a problem imagining someone who spend their weekends and vacations studying frameworks. I could at the very least understand if you had a real scientific inquiry into CS you were exploring. But to spend the limited time you have on earth collecting trivia no one cares about and even fewer people use in a direct way? I actually feel sorry for you.
