Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

In this case it's Johnny's Chicken House[^] that seems to be everywhere these days.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

So your face is also on a poster in the chicken house? It says 'Wanted' and hangs right next to that of Col. Sanders?

Any hints?

Yes, see above. It depends how good you are at very old jokes as to whether it will be any help ..

Hardware.
Dash: hare
Mental ward(anagram) : dwar

I was thinking rush and bolt for dash. Could not make a word.

Yay! We have a winner.
The hint, for anyone who didn't get it, was the age old gag:
How many programmers does it take to change a light-bulb?
None. It's a hardware problem.

So I was sitting in a meeting when someone asked how we were going to educate the users to a potentially complex process, I suggest with a clue bat.
Six guys looked at me strangely (not an unusual occurrence) but they had no idea what a clue bat is.
Next I go on line and see if I can find a foam or rubber clue bat to buy, can't locate one in the usual suspects and google is not helping. Anyone know where I can get a range of clue bats?

Just buy a Louisville Slugger, and paint "Clue Bat" on it.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I actually want to be able to thump someone without damaging them.

My philosophy is "there's no such thing as overkill". If someone should be thumped, don't fool around; do it good and proper!
(The result is that I thump very few people; zero, in fact.  )

As Churchill would say, "Thump them once. Then come back and thump them again. Then thump them a third time - a tremendous whack."
