This article makes it sound like the Ballmer peak is a preexisting, potentially-real phenomenon that was "popularized" by xkcd. AFAIK, the concept comes from xkcd and is a joke. I don't see anything in this article to suggest that the concept existed prior to the xkcd comic. Strugee (talk) 22:56, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
