Mathias Verraes

It's the 10th anniversary of this joke. I originally posted it on Twitter, and I felt it deserved a new home. It has been quoted in books, presentations, academic lectures, and t-shirts, and it's probably the only thing I'll be remembered for 🤣

@romeu @Cyriux I'm reading this one during your in memoriam

Come to think of it, it deserves a home on a place I own myself: https://verraes.net/2025/08/two-hard-problems-with-distributed-systems/

Also, I now have a page explaining the usage of AI (or lack thereof) on my website. https://verraes.net/ai/ The idea to have it came from the /ai Manifesto, which proposes to have an /ai page "to promote trust and transparency" https://www.bydamo.la/p/ai-manifesto

@anthony I know right? 8 years ago or so I put a reminder in my calendar for this birthday, thinking it would be forgotten by then 😂

@maaube@mastodon.online Thanks! Someone else told me as well, I haven't had a chance to update it yet.
