Me today when @aspittel proposed the jokes tag
Yes, please.
The GIF is making me laugh more than the jokes LOL
This joke doesn’t seem ready, you sure it’s not a prototype?
I'm crying...🤣
:cries in arrow functions:
Why did the developer had to quit her job?
Because she didn't get arrays. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Some jokes are all about context
This is the first time I’ve wished to put a tag on a blacklist. 😕👨🏻🦳
I don’t follow any specific tags, just enjoy reading across all topics that people post.
If you follow a tag and then give it “negative weight” in your dashboard it will help hide this. We’ll have better blacklist tooling in the future
Didn’t know that, thanks!
Yeah, for anyone else that's curious: If you go to dev.to/dashboard/following and give a tag a number like
-100for weight, it will virtually never show up in your feed. The mechanic of first following and then negative is weird and we'll eventually make it more intuitive and discoverable.Can you call it z-index? Or is this a bad place for a css joke?
A good feeling about this I have.
(edited, less annoying gif)
"this" is a triumph.
I'm making a note here, huge success.
Jokes undergoing settings
Hahaha!!
Now ... I'm throw up my laptop! 😆😆
Finally! This is the first tag I'm following.
Ha
Funny, that's how I feel when Not using JavaScript
Sometimes?
Hahahaha! Awesome!
It took me a while but I finally understood.
Humour required, definitely.
Thanks for genuinely making my day.
Love the new tag! Can’t believe we didn’t have it yet.

cannot find 'hands' of 'undefined'
I figured you were just going to stop at "throw up".
So I guess Javascript writers unite by coordinating our "hands throwing" from across the globe!
It's window.
global was a mistake...
