I think the alt-text is even better than the cartoon itself:
I started off with countless problems. But now I know, thanks to COUNT(), that I have “#REF! ERROR: Circular dependency detected” problems.

Somewhere in 2013, JavaScript developers found out the char code for space is the same ASCII code for all browsers at [WayBack] Javascript Char Codes (Key Codes) – Cambia Research
An interactive javascript key code reference for javascript developers. Includes an interative text box where you can type a key and see it’s code along with a complete lookup table.
This contrary to EBCDIC, where space can be character code 40 and 41, but not at the same time (by [WayBack] Armin Kunaschik at[WayBack] Oh mein Gott – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+).

@ingorammer on Twitter [WayBack] a while back:
As true today as it was when the book was written. “The psychology of computer programming” by @JerryWeinberg, 1971:
Specifications evolve together with programs and programmers. Writing a programis a process of learning – both for the programmer and the person who commissions the program. Morover, this learning takes place in the context of a particular machine, a particular programming language, a particular programmer or programming team in a particular working environment, and a particular set of historical events that determine not just the form of the code but also what the code does!
