The less substance there is to it, the easier it is to talk about.
The Chinese comments ("issues") also seem to be the same kind of jokes as the English ones, "no code means no bugs, perfect", etc., from the few I tried getting translations of. I imagine this went viral on Chinese social media, which makes sense since it's the sort of joke that's easy to translate and doesn't depend on particular cultural assumptions or anything.

Also GitHub is one of the very few western websites with a comment section that isn’t blocked in China.

In nocode you fix nothing and you don't change anything, that's why issues and pull requests are a mess, they literally cannot be dealt with by design.

Had to see for myself, and yeah... that's a whole lot of chaos. I'm sure I'd get the joke if I could read Chinese though.
Ask Google Translate?

They're using it to communicate in code to each other.

Well they should stop that and start communicating in nocode instead.

This commit is interesting, it used to support /dev/null natively, but for the sake of supporting windows you now have to use /dev/null externally by writing nothing at all
