It often feels like an Indian flavour of ESL, but there are also signs of AI use and usually AI cleans up that kind of issue and produces something that at least superficially looks native.
The name on the article is "Pen Magnet", i.e. they don't want to put their actual name to this.

The whole point is that you know to read your code
Fuck everyone else

Perl was my first language. I laugh at anyone that has to grep through anything I write. Sucks to be (you).

t. Job security.

>>107632191
I comment and refactor my code for this very reason. I don't want to waste time understanding what I wrote during my fever dreams 6 months earlier while speedrunning before the deadline
>>
>>107632233
you are not programmer
simple as
Its second nature if you are
Still stand with my point, your code is your code
Good industry practice is just a mindfuck to allow lower paid jeets and interns to fuck up your well made shit for pennies on the $
Make it as cryptic as possible, always every-time

I would rather have an easier time in the future than meeting magical requirements on a mongolian basket weaving bulletin board

Whut?

>>107632022
If you write code other people can easily understand and work with, then other people can easily replace you
Secure your job. Write shit code.
>>
>>107632265
Anon, there's a difference between "cryptic" (contains a lot of complex parts working together that require a large mental model to understand and work with) and "crusty" (has 10 years of terrible hacky bugfixes and feature requirements built up and has become untenable as a result)
>>
>>107632705
If both work and nobody but you can understand it without head butting a wall or desk for weeks, there is no difference and you won

Based. Also if you use a VCS, squash all your commits as much as possible and use AI to bloat the commit message.

>fellow engineer feels obligated to have something to say on every single PR

I hate these kinds of people

>>107632022
I know "clean code" is retarded, but assuming nothing you write will be read be anyone else is even more so.

>>107632837
>the guy pretends to do something and gives you a chance to do it too
Honestly a based chap

LLMs can unobfuscate any jeetcode

We're still talking about coders? It's over for them.
AI does it all Claude write this Claude fix it Claude make it clean
And Claude today is always the worst it'll ever be
>>
>>107632826
Or alternatively make the commit messages as short and vague as possible. "fixed Y", "added X", "refactored Z" are all commit messages I use regularly. You think it's a clear message when doing the commit but when you go back in history and it's all commits like that you can't find shit.

no wonder LLMs are replacing you.

I used to feel the same way until treacherous jeet slavers laid me off twice for their scabs. There is no honor or loyalty here, this is a nigger industry and everyone can go ahead and scam each other.
