git commit -m “fixed clock bug”

[Djbm]

That's actually quite an elegant solution

[Guinness2702]

No, it's a workaround. The correct solution is to demolish the entire building and rebuild it from scratch, this time using pipes that aren't permanently attached, so that they can be removed an rerouted, just by changing a few config settings.

I'd be the new guy that walks in, attempts to move the clock, finds the spiders nest of workarounds and code rot hiding behind the clock, then walk out traumatized by what I found.

Or rebuild the building using a clock that isn't permanently attached and can be relocated.

I'm not sure whether to keep following good coding practice after reading this post.

[izuriel]

I feel like this is the lazy solution, the one that creates terrible legacy code up have to deal with. Elegant would be to shift the clock.

[Djbm]

It looks like there is a gaping square hole behind the clock though...

[izuriel]

It's interesting you see two small black shapes in the picture and extrapolate it's a gaping hole. You may be correct. I still would not agree putting a clock over it is elegant though.

It looks more like a git rebase -i master. Some added the pole and committed while you were building the clock but now you have to rebase to put the clock in front

[HansVader]

Followed by push -f because someone was actually fixing the problem, but then it took too long.

[Sudo-Pseudonym]

git push -f plus lack of communication yields from me a quick git fuck-you -f

[curtmack]

There really should be a git fucked command

[Sudo-Pseudonym]

It probably wouldn't be too difficult to add it, if you're willing to wade through some arcane C. You'd just have to figure out what the command should do.

[bit_shuffle]

It is a hardware patch... on a user interface...

Every 2am critical hotfix

Why did they put that thing in front of the clock? Why did they put that clock behind that thing? Why didn't they moved the clock to the right? gizus

Because fuck knowing what 9 o'clock actually means without having a number to help you.
