Romeo here flexing about how he has an actual girlfriend. Sorry, Casanova, we’re busy refining mobile-ready inference models and leetcoding while you go on your so-called “dates”

Reddit-inspired humor on HN done right, hat tip, almost impossible to do (and I've tried for 15 years with less success).

lulz.

tbh I expected serious downvotage

You keep using this word "incel". I don't think it means what you think it means.

This is a classical joke about how nerds don't get romance/dating. People have been doing that since the time of Goethe.

Not something about bitter men who can't get laid and hate on women for it (which would be the incel case).

A nerd finds a talking frog by a pond. The frog says, "Hey, I'm not really a frog. I'm a beautiful princess, and if you kiss me, I'll turn back into a princess, and I'll grant you one wish."

The nerd thinks for a moment, then puts the frog in his pocket and continues walking.

The frog says, "Aren't you going to kiss me and make a wish?"

The nerd replies, "Nah, I'd rather have a talking frog."

We developers only go on ISO 8601 dates, which somewhat limits the selection unfortunately.

Reminds me of something I watched recently - "Struggling to understand Gen Z Slang" [0].
