The term used in frustration when trying to get legitimate Urban Words In To The Dictionary
I just tried to add a local Urban Slang for the word "Gee Mail", mail that's meaningless to everyone BUT the sender, BUT:
"How The Fuck Does ANYTHING Get Posted In Urban Dictionary?"

To solve a problem at minimum.
"Getting (it) to post" is the earliest point you can say "it works" without adding "technically," or the first thing that you have to do before starting anything else. Often implies that hard work and/or kludges were—and will be—required.
Derived from the "POST screen" (Power On Self Test), where a computer checks if all its hardware is working after being turned on; the first milestone in building/fixing a computer is reaching this screen.
"It took like four hours to get this piece of shit to post, but it's done."
"We can't even get to post without his say-so, and yet he's always late."
"Focus on getting it to post before making it look pretty."
