The /prog/ number of a thread is defined as the number of the first post in a programming thread that starts talking about race.
For example, for this thread about Perl:
http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1405281721
the /prog/ number is 9. The thread rapidly deteriorates from that point, culminating in post 25, where the disease reaches its inevitable conclusion with the death of the thread. At this point, the disease has choked out any discussion about the original topic, and the thread is now exclusively about race and racial insults.
