My favorite part is that their site has a drawing of a cock as the background and reads "this sucks" but it's some kinda venture capitalist org. For some reason only when the site is reloaded

It's ok I sent them an email about it

Why would you send them an email about it when you could inform them via an additional message on their background instead?

You're telling me this is on purpose? Oh my God it's on purpose

Its a different scrabble now.

I don’t know if this is on purpose, but if it is then it is brilliant advertising. I wan’t to know everything there is to know about this company now.

The scroll at the top of the page sometimes changes, and "hold shift to draw" is one of them. Shift-C to clear.

Intel Introduces the Most Bugs (Because They Write the Most Code)

Likely related to them "inventing" a new CPU tier all few years.

Weekend commits are actually less likely to introduce vulnerabilities, but they take 45% longer to fix.

I can only think of contributors being nice and relaxed, doing their most brilliant work. Work that is a bit too brilliant for the same contributor to fix any bugs found during any other conditions.

insert that one quote about being too smart for one's own good

Edit: Weekend commits are 8% less likely to have bugs, but those bugs take 45% longer to fix! This site is gold.

Edit 2: that may not mean what it looks like at first blush.
