One xkcd comic titled 'Duty Calls' has remained in the author's thoughts for 18 years. The strip depicts a partner urging a figure at a computer to go to bed, noting that someone is wrong on the internet and that leaving would let the error persist. The author, whose husband works as a technical project manager, says many xkcd jokes apply to his work, citing strips about standards and tasks. While most of the comic's humor does not relate to the author, the 'Duty Calls' panel reflects a professional duty to monitor online discourse and correct misinformation. The author describes attempts to ignore or delegate such arguments and notes that the comic reminds them to stop debating online and go to sleep. The piece concludes that stepping away from the computer and resting is the most effective response.
