Two Engineers, One 'Thanks Tibo,' Zero Further Context

Poteto opens with 'thanks Tibo,' a complete diplomatic communiqué that says nothing and everything. The replies do the heavy lifting: one user simply tags Tibo, another offers 'ouch,' and a third declares affection for potato. Nobody knows what happened, but everyone has a position. Tibo, for his part, is elsewhere promising 'a sign of great things to come,' which is the most engineering thing anyone can say while a two-word thank-you does numbers in the timeline.
