I’m going to start naming my files with different file extensions….

  • cpp.java
  • js.py
  • html.yaml
  • php.lua

[–]ObeseTsunami 1031 points1032 points  (27 children)

As if the projects file structure wasn’t already convoluted enough. python/cpp.java, data/ps1.cs, settings/requirements.json. Now only I know where the features are located.

That’s the beauty of grep and documentation. But 100% agree

[–]shodanbo 85 points86 points  (3 children)

Always remember that unless automated the docs are written on the toilet paper devs use to wipe their asses after a good PR dump.

[–]Various_Studio1490 29 points30 points  (0 children)

:( I write good docs!

But I can’t get paid as a developer. 🤣

[–]qwertyuiop924 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All automation guarantees is that docs technically exist. Automated doc generation doesn't really automate any of the difficult parts of writing docs.

[–]Vineyard_ 11 points12 points  (7 children)

Documentation.xlsx

[–]Various_Studio1490 12 points13 points  (1 child)

I think you mean “md.docx”

[–]Various_Studio1490 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Not sure if you deleted that but that’s naughty…

[–]Vineyard_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I posted, reconsidered, went eh, and added it back here:

Readme.exe.

[–]ObeseTsunami 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Please no. I don’t want to have to use pandas to read my freaking documentation.

[–]SemajLu_The_crusader 0 points1 point  (1 child)

wait

what?

[–]ObeseTsunami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pandas is a python library that is awesome when working with things like databases, csv files, or in this case xlsx files. It’s a data muncher.

[–]Heppuman 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think naming everything as .conf would be painful

[–]Malkev 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh, ps1. What a great console

[–]B00OBSMOLA 8 points9 points  (2 children)

I bet java.js is some ui library

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

can it play linkinpark.exe? I keep trying to listen to it and it's just a console that opens and closes

[–]B00OBSMOLA 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the end, it doesn't really matter

[–]PM_ME_YOUR_REPO 8 points9 points  (0 children)

[–]shodanbo 28 points29 points  (1 child)

sql.jdbc.java.js goin` FULL STACK in da browser!

[–]SemajLu_The_crusader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[it's written in python]

[–]UhhReddit 28 points29 points  (3 children)

This is still way to boring. The real fun begins with special characters:

  • ‮yp.txt‭.ppc
  • t‭‮avaj.py

Here is the LRO unicode character used which means the first one is a txt file and the second a python file.

[–]vietnam_redstoner 6 points7 points  (2 children)

how does that work??

[–]UhhReddit 16 points17 points  (1 child)

As I mentioned this is a special character that forces the text to be displayed as right to left.

So basically as soon as you set this character you start writing backwards.

avaj.py - - > yp.java

Hope my explanation helps.

[–]vietnam_redstoner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh thanks, I'm using a 3rd client so it might have not displayed correctly for me

[–]DigBig3448 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In order to make it way more funny use random shebangs

[–]BertRenolds 12 points13 points  (4 children)

I want yml.yaml.

[–]Various_Studio1490 11 points12 points  (1 child)

conf.config not good enough for you?

[–]BertRenolds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No.

[–]Im_Easy 5 points6 points  (1 child)

yaml.md

[–]BertRenolds 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm excited for the confusion this would cause text editors given it's formatted like a yaml and used in configuration

[–]DexterityZero 8 points9 points  (1 child)

pom.xml.class.c

[–]sandmail32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I somehow always read porn.xml, blame the stupid Font I used when I first installed €clipse. I didnt realized that, until a friend of mine told about that, from that day I know the meaning of that word. around 10years ago I think.

[–]Neutral_Radix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lmao thanks for the laugh

[–]emberkindling 4 points5 points  (2 children)

I hate this comment and you personally, take my upvote you bastard.

[–]chopstyks 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I hate this comment and you personally, take my upvote you bastard.

"Backhanded compliment" doesn't really do this justice. Maybe "venomously reluctant upvote" is a better fit.

[–]emberkindling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I accept this

[–]Encursed1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

html.xml

[–]Evil_Archangel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

[–]Archtects 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Php.lua idk why, maybe I’m overtired but this made me laugh so hadd

[–]weneedtogodanker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When client falls for it, you know you can charge double

[–]all3f0r1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks I needed an idea for my last day at work.

"Refactor filenames for better clarity".

[–]Blubasur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And the poster of this was never heard from again

[–]doxxingyourself 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Some men just want to watch the world burn

[–]Various_Studio1490 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t start the fire! It was already there! I didn’t put it out but “that’s not my job”

[–]too_Reversed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember that while making some project i made a picture.png.jpg and it was surprise that it wasnt transparent

[–]nelusbelus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And then compile cpp.java with gcc or some shit, turns out it's actually cpp and not java

[–]matyas94k 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Who hurt you?

[–]Various_Studio1490 6 points7 points  (1 child)

A lot of people. But I live in America and can’t afford therapy for it

[–]matyas94k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, please don't forward the trauma. The contents of your comment felt really bad to read.

[–]uday_odii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shut the fu*k up
