This is quite possibly one of the worst April fools jokes I've seen. I physically groaned when I read that.

Out of curiosity, what did you find so unfunny about it? It seemed clever.
I agree. Being too clever for your own good is a trap that even experienced developers walk into sometimes by creating very clever yet incredibly stupid solutions to non-existing problems. This aprils fools joke is a satire of that.
Feel free to ignore it :-)
I wish I could. I have a whole load of broken C that divides by zero that will now start actually doing things. I'm worried people might confuse me with a competent programmer after a while ;)
This comment is funnier than the original post. You should write it up as a bug report. Quick, there's still time!
