Polish Developer Debug Phrase 'Dupa' Becomes CI Test Script
Description
A Reddit screenshot showing a comment thread. User ShyWhy246 (25d ago, Edited) writes: 'I am polish so our natural debug fraze is "dupa" (ass), having dupa1, dupa2 prints all around is typical. So typical, that one of our CI test script is "deduper.py". Apparently it is always green for couple of years, since we standarized precomit hook with similar deduper Regex.' The reply from user brothermanbaj (25d ago) reads: 'ah yes, dupa-driven-development, invented independently by every aspiring polish programmer.' The post has 70 upvotes. The humor is about Polish developers using the word 'dupa' (Polish slang for 'ass/butt') as debug print statements so frequently that it required a dedicated CI deduplication script

Every codebase has its own profanity-based logging framework. The Polish just formalized theirs with a CI pipeline
