A French comedy sketch-song by Les Inconnus parodying wealthy young people from Auteuil, Neuilly and Passy by mimicking the style of banlieue rap.
HN mostly uses it as a joke or cultural reference for rich Parisian stereotypes and subcultures, rather than recommending it.

Yes, this is helpful when you are outside by -10°C. You will die standing, literally. I would give my work on the spot if it helped me to survive and possibly get back on tracks. I don't know if you have fought like this, living in despair in the name of coding principles. If yes, good for you. If not then this is the kind of comment that reminds me of our French "gauche caviar", the people with position and money who discuss about how to fight for your rights before going golfing ( this video is the canonical comedy sketch for these people).
