DEVCHA is a wordplay on CAPTCHA. CAPTCHA is a test used to determine whether the taker of the test is a human or a computer. DEVCHA is a test used to determine whether the taker of the test is a developer (computer programmer) or non-developer. Essentially, a DEVCHA is a puzzle that a developer can solve easily while non-developers would find it very difficult, even with Googling.

The term was first coined by the developers of BharatPe.com. The company came up with an offer of superbike for anyone who joins their engineering team. Since it was a compelling offer, the engineering team needed a way to prevent a flood of non-relevant job applications. So they included a creative DEVCHA puzzle on their recruitment website as a way to amuse developers and prevent non-developers from filling the job application form.
Prove that you are a developer! Enter the DEVCHA __________.

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
