because jim jones had his followers drink it to kill them. the comparison for coders is what makes me wonder if you know the horribleness of it. even kids. many did not know it was poison.

    No he didn't, which is why I made the joke about Flavor Aid

    Jones proposed "revolutionary suicide" by way of ingesting a powdered drink mix made from Flavor Aid, later misidentified as Kool-Aid, that was lethally laced with cyanide and other drugs.

    im not talking about kool aid. that is used like kleenex. I just wanted to be sure you understood where it came from because honestly I don't see the analogy. spagetti code is like code suicide maybe???
