Nonnotable hackers' in-joke tagged since 2011. Too few google hits ("we have omitted some entries very similar to the 73 already displayed") for hackerdoom; not even blogs. Staszek Lem (talk) 17:57, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A quick search of GBooks shows this is a widely-known concept/meme in software engineering; I suspect most veteran programmers have heard of this. But all the sources I found are brief mentions, and even the cited source in the article is not in depth. While the concept is verifiable, I don't see any target articles where adding this would not violate due weight. Hence, delete. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 19:55, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
