Great article title!


Three title loves already. Is there some reason that this is a great article title? I feel like I'm missing out on some hidden joke here...

Dang. I’m a Dad. Have been accused of an excess of dad humor. Have studied and written garbage collectors. And I missed this. I’m getting old. But thank you.


can’t say i’ve seen a better title recently
