They haven’t died out - they’re all in the programming business now, so  
they’re just less visible to some people as they are mainly night-active  
and pay  
the delivered pizzas they live  
on using electronic money transactions. Paleontologists think they  
could  
search  
for 100 million years old skeletons by day as well.  
That explains the worries of non-dinosaurs in the programming business  
as  
well  
as the erroneous claims of paleontologists that dinosaurs have died out.  
🙂
