April Fool's Accumulator 2022

Let’s collect tech-related April’s fools jokes from today here that don’t warrant their own story.

  1. I cannot agree with the section 3:

    When implementing specifications that are broken by design, it is RECOMMENDED to aggregate multiple smaller bugs into one larger bug. This will be easier to document: rather than having a lot of hard-to-track inconsequential bugs, there will be only a few easy-to-recognise significant bugs.
    

    Most people only use a subset of program’s functionality, and some functionality can in fact be completely unused by anyone at all. Keeping multiple small bugs documented is easier to make a distributed effort. As of bugs in unused functionality, they can be trivially fixed by removing the feature that no one uses anyway, which also removes all bugs associated with it. ;)
