A friend who ran a mildly popular dev tool (4k+ stars) kept really stellar docs, and his process of updating them was to sit down with a bottle of whiskey every few months, and doing a marathon doc-writing session. the brand voice would come from him being a funny human and getting a little tipsy.

I suspect his silly and fun-sounding "kinda drunk" brand voice was what set them apart from all the other boring dev tools in the space.

Looks like it was Peter de Vries, but the hallmark of a good quip is shambolic attribution.
