I've referenced it enough that now it's all I can hear when I read it. Now you have to hear it too πŸ™‰ https://ericwbailey.website/published/you-must-listen-to-rfc-2119/
You MUST listen to RFC 2119

It turns out you can just pay people to do things.

I am so very sorry.
@eric Eric, I do not think you are.
@eric you MUST NOT / SHALL NOT / are REQUIRED NOT TO speak to me or my son ever again
@eric the difference between will / shall / must was drilled into me in my early software requirements days

@eric Do not be.

This is seriously helping my stress level given that we were supposed to launch today, and did not, and...

cripes this is the best thing ever

@eric There's no killswitch on awesome

(not linking the source, sorry)

@eric a visual to go with it...
@patrick_h_lauke @eric β€œThis MAY be the WORST. RFC. EVER.”
@mattmay @patrick_h_lauke @eric MUST be the worst, SHALL be the worst or MAY be the worst RFC ever?
@eric thank you for causing this to exist πŸ˜‚
@eric This is fantastic. But, to be fair, that first person was sorta on the right track. Also, unrelated, I lost. Gisregard that last part if you didn't understand.
@eric That made my day. Thank you so much for doing this!
@eric Use this RFC so often. Hilarious! Very talented reader.
@eric this is the best. The MUST when reading item 5 fully sent me. 🀣
@eric that's amazing!
@eric I lost it at "may be very subtle."
@Edent I was crying the entire time I was proof-listening to it.
@eric That is absolutely hilarious πŸ˜‚
@eric I fear my internal monologue will use that voice when I read RFCs in the future…
@eric MIGHT there be a RFC 6919 sequel?
@eric how did I miss this *GEM*

@eric 🫑 Listened as REQUIRED.

Amazing reading. I lost it in section 5. πŸ˜‚

@eric This belongs in The Stanley Parable
@eric I repeat: I'm not sure if you're allowed to do this.
@eric Fun pointless silly stuff is exactly why I'm still on the internet. I love it.
