If you browse reddit you would have seen this article already.

There are some gems there. For example:

1.  I'll just retype the docs into this email for you. 

2.  Please send me an email personally, because the mailing list is full
    of other people who can help.

5.  Of course I believe you've found a fundamental bug in the
    system. You've been using it for almost 10 minutes.

12. I love answering the same question from you every two weeks. 

15. The dogma you've gained from your six months of experience is indeed
    how everyone should do it. 

6.  Why would you learn to use an interactive debugger? 

Just like a typical reddit comment: I imagined this being read in the
voice of Nick Dokos :-).

Only fun. No offense.

No. Not at all. Honestly, totally otherwise. But lots of missed
opportunities.

Also, my devil's mind cooked up this:

Jason> "I found the VM kernel-panicked.  I'll upgrade the kernel soon.""
Jambu> May be because it came to knew of it's impending death.

then I held back because I thought the humor could be misinterpreted.

I think the emphasis should be put on the words "read in the voice".

Maria Callas or Ὀδυσσεύ[1] rule ;-)
