WAT

What is wat?
'Wat' is a Chrome extension that comes with a simplistic yet hilarious function - playing back Gary Bernhardt saying 'wat' during his distinctive lightning talk, which is a memorable moment in the software development community. The 'wat' utterance has turned iconic over time, symbolizing the funny and unexpected moments developers experience while coding. Ideal for anyone who needs a touch of humor during their workday, this extension is readily accessible from your browser toolbar. Source code for the extension is openly accessible for tweaks and understanding the underlying code structure.
