Unicorns

It has been suggested that unicorns don't exist. The web offers the definitive refutations here, from which we learn that unicorns are reasonably common, and – which no one has so far mentioned – the worst employers you can imagine:

Unicorn will reap and restart workers that die from broken apps ... Unicorn can spawn and manage any number of worker processes you choose to scale to your backend. Workers all run within their own isolated address space ...

Statistics show pretty unambiguously that the great majority of Cif activity comes from people who are goofing off from jobs they hate. I suspect that all of you, especially the most determined unicorn deniers, are actually working for unicorns as you type.
