Simple! Fork, Spoon, Knife! how did they keep a straight face?
1 comments

I wonder if they have a chopsticks version. Actually, never mind: that's pair piano-playing.
And what do you mean by that?
It's a two-part joke:

1) The video talks about forking code, pair-programming with spooning, and knifing (pull requests): fork, spoon, and knife. I just wondered if they have a chopsticks version, for people who prefer using chopsticks.

2) Then I realized there is already a context that involves pairing and chopsticks: Chopsticks is a common piano duet. Of course, it doesn't have to be played by two people...

(The video begins with the version you typically hear kids playing, but then, well, you have to watch!)
