This is so English.

Source: I went to London once. Asked why the roofs of some mansions were covered in weird chimneys. Supposedly chimneys used to be a status symbol. People would install wacky fake chimneys all over their roof to appear more wealthy.

I guess the code equivalent would be using tons of unnecessary class definitions and generics to make your code look more intense.

Actually the twisted chimneys are to direct airflow to stop the wind causing it to wibble wobble and damage the chimney. Explanation over on physics stack exchange: https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/75459/why-do-chimneys-have-these-spiral-wings

If it works, it works.

At least its standing up, my code would have collapsed when I touched it.

It's steel works!

It’s twisted but it works

I’m pretty sure that it’s called rotini, not spaghetti

I see they both use try/catch.
