T-shirt: "Mass Quantities of Code"

I got a kick out of this t-shirt design from Headline Shirts. From the product description:

Long known as a home of innovation, Silicon Valley is now known for something else: spreading the use of mass quantities of code. Code, also known as "zeros 'n ones" or "lines," is fast becoming a full-blown epidemic, even small towns.

Oh, back during the dot-com bubble when morning coffee substituted meth for sugar to start the next day in a marathon of sleepless coding and 100-hour work weeks.

"Good times".

I don't get it. Does anybody get this?

Yes.

NickMonkey, it is simulating lines of another substance, cocaine, but instead of "powder" it is zeros and ones. The pun is that both cocaine and programming is done in "lines" and if you were addicted to something you might say you do a lot, or a "mass quantity." A bit highbrow, possibly.

NickMonkey, maybe you're just accustomed to doing bumps of code rather than whole lines? :p

Anyone ever done an eight ball of code in one night?

Yes, or perhaps NickMonkey is just a tad sheltered. Nothing wrong with that. I often wish I could regain that lost sense of -- SNOOOOORT -- innocence.
