I prefer this version:

First they came for the Jenkins. And I did not speak out. Because I was not a Jenkins...

I wished I could go back in time and kill DevOps, before it became a thing.

I'm sorry. Who's Jenkins?

1000016226

Its this man He lives in this thing called "The Cloud"

The man is a monster. I don't know how many of my build jobs have been murdered by this fiend.

And how many devops have been driven to madness trying to configure what should be a simple task.

They should kill his father Hudson instead. That guy was a dick.

No, he lives on a host in your data center.
He tried to get to the cloud but githubs actions threw him down to the ground.

You''ll never know and you should be thankfukl for it.

I thought this was going to be a dev ops joke at first then it never came

Well, was Jenkins worse than Hitler?

My inclination is that Hitler was the least bad way out of that situation. Give Germany another decade and some other nationalist party would come to power, only this time they've got a decade of research behind them and maybe they get the bomb first. Or maybe the leader isn't a drug-addled former artist who gets his entire staff hooked on uppers and they're actually effective at defeating their enemies.

So the reason we always seem to have Hitler is because the time cops keep people from killing him because the other timelines are even worse.

Then what are the time cops doing about Trump?

Shit... is this evidence that he's the lesser of two evils? I don't know if I can handle that thought.

The best thing about his presidency was his total incompetence in getting what he wanted. Imagine what would happen if Steve Bannon or Steven Miller were more than just the puppetmasters…

Steven Miller

I'd call him "Maurice".

only this time they’ve got a decade of research behind them and maybe they get the bomb first

Maybe that's why we're living in the universe where this didn't happen, because in the universe where it did, we wouldn't exist (many worlds/anthropic principle interpretation)

There are no "time cops" because even existing in the past changes things. It's impossible to change the past and return to "the present" that you know. It would be a completely different timeline even if you just observe.

No, not at all. There is a single coherent timeline. The world as it exists now is the final total of all time travel that will ever be going to have occurred to points before now.

You could try to go back and kill Hitler, but we already know you failed.

They're talking about a different set of time travel rules. Time travel is fictional so it doesn't need to be logical.

We rolled back your change to fix Jenkins, please remember to run preflight checks before submitting.

The build passed on my machine. ... Oh wait, my COVID bug fix didn't make it into main. Uh oh.

This is a shittier version of this skit

I can't verify that because that skit has a much larger file size and I ain't streaming that. I have other things to download.

Harold Jenkins from umbrella academy?

The hardest choices require the strongest wills. They do not remember you, nor what you've sacrificed... but I will honor you, slayer of Jenkins, hero to humanity o7

The only 2 Jenkinses I know are Leeroy Jenkins, and Jenkins from How I Met Your Mother.

First the tiktok witches erase one of our moons, now some asshole took away Jenkins before his prime. What’s next?

Isn't Jenkins the robot servant in the masterpiece City by Simak? Great book!
