Josh CollinsworthI took this photo of my kid playing with his blocks the other day, and when I realized it reminded me of something, well...I had to make this.
Tyler Mumford@collinsworth Hahaha, that's amazing! And nice photoshopping, too
Queen Of Coffee@collinsworth That's pretty good. The last time my kids played with blocks they made an anatomically correct Abraham Lincoln eating cheese.
moondog548@QueenOfCoffee @collinsworth um AKSHULLY, to be "anatomically correct" it would need to be made out of Lincoln Logs(TM). 🙄

🦬@moondog548 @QueenOfCoffee @collinsworth fun fact Lincoln logs were invented by Frank Lloyd Wrights son
^[[200~Michael@collinsworth you left your kid alone in Nebraska? Omg 😱
runarcn@collinsworth Oh wow, this is just lovely in every possible way. Thank you for sharing it!
Bytebro 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 🇬🇱@collinsworth So so true!
jocanibA lot of people would recognise the source but it's worth including for those who don't:

Trump & Epstein: Biz partners.@collinsworth when life do be like in memes. 😝
Strubbl 🐧@collinsworth nice xkcd appreciation <3
Matthew Martin@collinsworth You added the maintainer of left-pad about to yank his package to the background
Skylar Caulfield 
@collinsworth he's gonna be a very valuable asset to a tech company someday! heheh
brainwise@collinsworth This seems entirely too accurate.
@leX 🤘🏻@collinsworth
That's brilliant! 😅👍🏻 I know the xkcd original. Kudos

bgt lover@collinsworth what project is that? I'd assume core.js, but I don't like assumptions
lertsenem@collinsworth Loved the comics, can't wait for the live action series! :]
✅ Evert Albers@collinsworth Even without the text, I immediately recognized cartoon.

I saw this same meme on a Programmers' Feed where the structure was The Latest Software and the supporting block was a bit of "legacy code" that someone had been thanklessly maintaining for years.

@collinsworth the future is bright. :)
Zumbador@collinsworth I had that exact same wooden block set as a child! I loved it so much. Ours came in a flat black box, and the blocks filled the box exactly.
Jakers KJ5AMZoh look, it's core-js
André@collinsworth I'm half expecting that your kid's nicknamed Little Bobby Tables ;)
Mathias Damour@collinsworth
Do you have some examples of such projects?

openssl.
the original xkcd made reference to imagemagick, for the same reason.
you could also have a look at the original OSS implementation of RSA, which is still widely used - it won't really break per se, but it implements well known and documented vulnerabilities.

As a counter example, one could have been tempted to cite #curl, as it's so fundamental to pretty much any modern system, but one of the main dev (the wonderful Daniel Stenberg @bagder ) is good at roping other people to put their hands under the hood: he recently said that 187 contributors added their touch to the tool this year. 😁

🔻 aetios 🇪🇺@collinsworth it's bloody perfect! 😂😂
weakly catlike intelligence@collinsworth optimistic to assume it’s maintained
Speed demon 🇪🇺 🇳🇴🇺🇦🇵🇸@collinsworth You should put a credit to https://xkcd.com/2347/ there, but thanks for letting me feel I'm in the "in"-group :)
@[email protected] I guess I felt the credit was implicit, given that I mentioned being reminded of something, and that anybody at all familiar with xkcd would probably recognize the lettering, if not the exact text (both of which I obviously copied and pasted).
Still, it's possible people mistook this as entirely original, which wasn't my intention. And it never hurts to be explicit.
Warren Currie 🦠🦐@collinsworth please add the original Randall Munroe xkcd comic link "Dependency" to the alt-text.

☮@collinsworth not sure I get the joke, but I do miss laying on the floor and playing those wooden blocks with my daughter. One of her toys that I have not given away.

Gotta keep developers of this stuff paid. </grin>
