So I just looked it up, YAML is a programming language, that is “often used for writing configuration files.” Then I checked the group this was posted on, makes a lot more since now.

YAML is also a recursive acronym. It stands for YAML Ain’t Markup Language.

Wait… I thought it was “yet another markup language”

Is this another fucking Bearenstein/Mandala reality split?

I just had to go look that up. Yet Another just seems to make more sense, which is why I think a lot of people think that’s what it stands for.

The UX for knowing in which community something has been posted in is not very good here, I feel a lot of people have problems getting the context if you don’t spell it out in the title.

Nope. I’ve never heard of it and I’m not a programmer so therefore it’s triple-not-funny. I’m doubling down on this hill because… just because.

You’re on ProgrammerHumor… Why do you expect the jokes to cater to you if you’re not a programmer?

It came up in my ALL feed. I can’t help but react if you all shove your sick lifestyle choices in my face.
