CleanCodeFags ETERNALLY BTFO
>>107632022>nooooo thonk of the pajeet who will replace you and needs to vibecode his way out of understanding your code, can you imagine how many prompts will take him? you are literrally genociding india with your "i = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 )"
>>107632022Something really smells off about this writing.>before 10 years>how much time>at whichhttps://archive.ph/YDRQ8>a code must be readableIt 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.
>>107632101>Something really smells off about this writing.>em dashesit's all ai slop
>>107632022The whole point is that you know to read your codeFuck 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.
>>107632191I 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
>>107632233you are not programmersimple asIts second nature if you areStill stand with my point, your code is your codeGood 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
>>107632265I would rather have an easier time in the future than meeting magical requirements on a mongolian basket weaving bulletin board
>>107632426Be corpo bitch, i wont
>>107632022>before 10 yearsWhut?
>>107632022If you write code other people can easily understand and work with, then other people can easily replace youSecure your job. Write shit code.
>>107632265Anon, 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)
>>107632705If 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
>>107632571Based. 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>the default is usually "can you change this [perfectly understandable variable name] to be this [slightly different version of the word]?"I hate these kinds of people
>>107632022I 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 tooHonestly a based chap
>>107632022if you can understand your code from a week ago, you are getting replaced next month LMAO
>>107632964you cant explain this shit to newfaggot breed
>>107632964LLMs 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
>>107632826Or 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.
>>107632222>>107632265>>107632571>>107632826>>107632964>so bad at programming you feel obligated to obfuscate your code just so you can remain employedno wonder LLMs are replacing you.
>>107633372I 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.
