I had shockingly never heard of Cunningham's Law before this week, and it couldn't be more accurate for most #internet things, but especially as it relates to #coding
Unsurprisingly it is named after and often attributed to the creator of the first known #wiki Ward Cunningham, though he doesn't take personal credit for it's genius

I had once heard a joke about two bloggers who have a competition for who can get the most comments in their next article.
One blogger spends the week meticulously researching a thought proving article.
The other blogger spends the week slacking and throws something together last minute.
After the articles go live the first blogger is amazed to find the second blogger has orders of magnitude more comments. He asks what the second blogger's secret was.
"I misspelled the title. "
@multiverseofbadness I'd heard of the saying, but didn't realise it had a name.
It is of course completely accurate.
