Happy programmers’ day.
I think the original was from https://teespy.com/app/campaigns/viralstyle/10-reasons-to-date-a-programmer-limited but last time I checked that domain wasn’t responding, nor was the page archived.

Be careful with setting the timeout of sendmail to zero when trying to flush the mail queue:
sendmail -OTimeout.hoststatus=0m -q -v
Reason: a lot of target systems do rate-limiting if you retry too much in too short time, for instance gmail does that:
421-4.7.0 [###.###.###.### 15] Our system has detected an unusual rate of
421-4.7.0 unsolicited mail originating from your IP address. To protect our
421-4.7.0 users from spam, mail sent from your IP address has been temporarily
421-4.7.0 rate limited. Please visit

PS: The oldest reference I could find for define true (rand() > 10) was this one from 20121014:
// Happy debugging, suckers
# define true (rand() > 10)Source: codecrap.com – snippet #6
It reminds me of a 1990s prank I once put in central consts unit of a Turbo Pascal project somewhere way beyond the right margin in a search directory outside of version control:
const True = False; False = not True;
A lot more pranks are at Happy debugging, suckers : ProgrammerHumor – reddit
