The tree of life is a git repository. I'm personally partial to the giraffe release.
class Giraffe extends Neck {...}
or something like thatThat’s not how extends works 😂 you silly goose
What, you thought a giraffe was some sort of animal, and not a type of neck? Didn't you know that snakes, geese, and giraffes all evolved from the common neck: C. neckens?
That doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about biology to dispute it
It's free style, another alternative if you prefer
class Giraffe extends Animal { this.neck = 10*super.neck; }
class Goose extends Silly
The one with the 5m long nerve? Because it needs to loop around an artery near the heart, as that was the shortest way back when that nerve first developed. And now the source and destination are still close, but the heart moved. But no one has gotten around to make that legacy code more efficient.
One of my favorites as well.
It's a feature, not a bug.....
OK, look, we tried refactoring, but everything broke. Just don't touch it and it'll be fine.
Where is the Human branch maintainer? Why aren't they reviewing and approving the numerous PRs and merges??? So many open issues...
They left a cryptic note about free will and not mixing textiles a few millennia back and haven't been on the mammals-dev Slack since.
It's alright, we're pretty sure adoption is going to peak soon anyway.
