Is this a joke ~~or an AI hallucination~~? I'm pretty sure Sartre never wrote about programming in ANSI C.
There is a book called "Programming in ANSI C" by E. Balagurusamy
I can only find other references to this quote from sites that are linking this article.
The article actually does date back to 2016 so it's not AI generated.
I should have tried a bit harder to search, the original quote by Sartre is:
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance."
Thanks for checking
