What PMs do for fun...
Last week, I made a bad joke (I'm the owner of bad jokes for the Visual C# PM team),
related to the the concept of arity in generics. I regret that I don't remember the
exact joke I made, but we riffed a bit on different permutations (popul-arity, singul-arity,
disp-arity). That went on for a few minutes, but we realized that it ws a tough joke
to communicate.
Then Julian (one of our IDE PMs) suggested that we could communicate it better through
code. Here's what he suggested:
class Hil<T>
{
// Implementation
}
class Jocul<T>
{
}
Once you've done this, then people can discuss the Hil-arity and Jocul-arity of
this implementation.
You may have noticed that we often don't aspire to particularly high standards of
comedic expression.
If you ever want to find words that contain a certain string of letters, I suggest OneLook.
