FILE_NOT_FOUND is from an old story on thedailywtf.com. Someone created a boolean enum with TRUE, FALSE and FILE_NOT_FOUND, if I recall correctly. It's been a recurring running joke.

Welcome! I guess this is your Ten Thousand moment for a mediocre joke for old programmers. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ‘

haha, yes - exactly! At least I got that reference, xkcd is pretty well known, though.

I see that they've gone back to the name "The Daily WTF". For some time, they changed to "Worse than failure" in order to avoid not even the word "fuck". ๐Ÿคท
