Programmer Humor

Oof... felt this one right in the code.

Trust me, there's someone just starting out, and you got them 90% of the way there, and they will humbly submit a fix for your code with zero judgement.

That someone is me, because I have no idea what I'm doing.

I have written so many scrapers in my life that would have probably helped thousands of people.

it was all for porn though. they shall never see the light of day.

Mad respect

Relatable content.

You want my comment-less source code? I can't be arsed.

Embarrassing*

I'm currently sitting on a codebase that's perfectly ok and I have no reason not to open-source it, but it's 95% generated by AI so I don't know. Probably I'll just use it myself like it was an embarrasing sex toy.

Looking at github lately, it seems a lot of people don't share my reservations.

I was reviewing some PowerShell script today and it was absolutely atrocious. It's only saving grace was that it was using actual PowerShell, not some hacky wmic call or anything.

I didn't write it and I'm really glad for that. Whole lines of rewritten code commented out and just left there. Entire lines of # marks. There's no reason this should be so densely commented. Your code should be self explanatory.

There were multiple queries to the same database that was then passed through a "where-object" selector by pipe, looking for a single value (pulling a database of thousands of entries for one line).

It was disgusting.

I'm not even a developer and I thought it was horrid.

I don't understand your username. Like that's some kind of exception?
