An experiment in humorous documentation

passo.uno 17 Jul 2023
A few days ago I published a repository for the English Programming Language, a tongue-in-cheek parody of README files. I had a hunch and posted it on Hacker News at 3 AM. When I woke up, the repo was on the front page and already racked up 200 stars on GitHub. Not bad for a nerd joke. But then again, why would someone write humorous technical documentation?
