Does Docker need this "cartoon" of an otter to get the point across? https://github.com/docker/docs?tab=readme-ov-file

or this "cartoon" of an octopus? https://github.com/docker/compose

This seems to really just be "oldman-yelling-at-clouds-syndrome"

I for one welcome anime girls in readmes and hope to see more of it in the future if only because it seems to bother some of the old hoagies in the world for some reason.

I'm glad you enjoy anime girls but surely you can see why it's different than a project's logo?

One is directly related to the project, the other isn't. It's not even contextually related.

Python (the language) is named after "Monty Python's Flying Circus" simply because Guido was reading the scripts at the time:

> When he began implementing Python, Guido van Rossum was also reading the published scripts from “Monty Python’s Flying Circus”, a BBC comedy series from the 1970s. Van Rossum thought he needed a name that was short, unique, and slightly mysterious, so he decided to call the language Python.

The cartoon is literally pointing at contextually relevant information, and it's far more pleasant to follow than yet another big red arrow. That said, I would have enjoyed my reading a bit more if the author utilized a more diverse cast of characters.

Why does github use an octocat as its logo? It's unrelated to software development

Is 29 considered old hoagie?
Re:Llama3 implemented from scratch by MeImCounting on Monday May 20, 2024 @02:37AM (#40412915)
Old hoagie is more of a mindset. Anyone of any age can be an old hoagie if they like, all one has to do is practice getting upset when one sees anime girls, believe in the coming AI apocalypse and use Emacs.

Don't see how Emacs fits into this. At least I can sort lines there without another proprietary addon.
