Meta Geek Code is a flippant response to the Geek Code and other long codes:
I got sick of seeing Geek Codes everywhere, so I decided to define a simpler, higher-level code, Meta Geek Code. The purpose of MGC is to fight “write-only” languages like Geek Code and Makefile, while providing all the information you really need to know about a person.
