No, it's just a pretty lame joke that got repeated like five million times.
Unfortunately our community breeds an extremely self-referential, repetitive humour that can get quite annoying. Like that one guy pissing his pants laughing because 42 hahahaha.
That guys response is still only half as annoying as seeing continual bot spam, especially from useless pretentious ones that provide no value like this one
Honestly it's pretty rare for this sub to have genuinely good jokes
Most are just really forced jokes based around CS101 concepts shared by college students, most of the rest are the same few jokes told over and over like you said, and only a tiny proportion are genuinely clever programming jokes
