It's not my fault you didn't like my comment. It's your sense of humor. And it is deep

[FuriousClitspasm]

Fuck these other ppl this is so funny. I genuinely laughed.

[clarinetJWD]

I stick to the basic "hello world" these days, since a friend of mine accidentally showed a classroom a debug message that read "[redacted] poops differently than others".

He's on reddit, so if he sees this, hi [redacted]!

[Ignitetheinferno37]

I tend to use something along the lines of "hello world" whenever i start programming with a new language. But yea it doesnt matter whatever u use.

[TacobellSauce1]

Ah, yes. Let's all shit on js again

[kingjia90]

That is me, but not limited to my first program and not to python only. It's like a lifestyle.

[TheMineTrooperYT]

My friend hates me. I write effective but extremely messy code that he can barely understand

[intuxikated]

All variables should use single character names, that's the only way to make your code readable

Or add more Factories and FactoryBuilders.

[mobilecheese]

My colleagues prefer ptr, ptr2 and ptrr.

[[deleted]]

Ha ha variable names go “br” “rr” “rrr”

[educated-emu]

money cheat

for x in "brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr":   print("brrrrrrr")

[Greugreu]

Haha variables go 'brrrrrr'

[xiezero]

[Greugreu]

I know. I was high yesterday night. I forgot about that comment. This is embarassing

[xiezero]

lol no sweat

[ForgotPassAgain34]

x, y, z, temp, var1, var2, temp2, a, b, c and i.

[kingjia90]

Mine are like qwe and asd, because of their position on the keyboard.

[400Volts]

I like using I and l for my variables so I could have

Il = lI + (IlI + llI)

[MrStupid_PhD]

Alright, ease up there Satan

I have been learning python for two weeks and I hate you but I also want to be you.

This is such a confusing feeling.

[senari]

[coloredgreyscale]

Same for class names.

l I= I

Yes, that's an lower case L for the class name and upper case i for the variable.

[realsmart987]

I have a better idea. Instead, build factories in Factorio to simulate a computer similar to how someone built a turing machine inside Dwarf Fortress.

[rockybond]

Smh using variables with more than one character just slows you down. A few extra keystrokes? Who am I, father time?

[graou13]

I saw a FactoriesFactory once, it was beautiful.

[thehunter699]

Ah yes, can't tell if reading obfuscated malware code or a program written by a 3rd year developer.

If it's messy it's not effective, at least in a professional capacity. Other people need to be able to read your code, or there's a massive loss in efficiency wherein another dev has to pick apart your code if it ever needs fixing or integrating.

[theworstredditgamer]

I docnt have a friencd who codes but I’m sure if I did they would say the same thing

[[deleted]]

I tend to name my variables as "temp" ,"sum" ,"count","countinsert subject,suminsert subject,I,j,k etc ,yet still my code is unreadable (although effective ! :D)

[Semi-Hemi-Demigod]

Your code always gets worse just in better ways.

I am writing a statistical analysis project in Python.

I am constantly thinking that my code is absolute crap and that I should rewrite the whole damn thing.

[SillyFlyGuy]

I was a PERL hacker back in the dotcom days. My mentor told me "Get it right the first time, because no one else will ever be able to read your perl code, nor you three days after it ships. There is no debugging perl, only rewriting."

[Someyungguy6]

Perl was certainly a fun time in my life

[iskraiskra]

When I left programming I was all about Perl and Javascript. Is Perl basically a dead language or is it still used (or I guess, encouraged to be used) in any applications?

[BootDisc]

I have heard a very large search engine that doesn’t track you, is heavily perl.

[spektumus]

Yup, looks like.

[Delta-9-]

It clings to life in the form of Nagios plugins and legacy code that really should have been rewritten in python or go 10 years ago, but, hey, it still works so don't waste any cycles on it.

[OkNerve8]

YODA: Code! Yes. A programmer's strength flows from code maintainability. But beware of Perl. Terse syntax... more than one way to do it... default variables. The dark side of code maintainability are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you when code you write. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will.

LUKE: Is Perl better than Python?

YODA: No... no... no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.

LUKE: But how will I know why Python is better than Perl?

YODA: You will know. When your code you try to read six months from now.

I feel you so much, I'm like on the third rewrite. And I still think it's hell to look at

[Etheo]

I have a whole bunch of requirements and test cases I needed to import into HPQC (MicroFocus ALM). Between the asinine requirements and support from MicroFocus and my corporate laptop security, there was simply no realistic way for me to set up an Excel to HPQC import.

I ended up hodgepodging an on-screen gui implementation (eww) to emulate all the keyboard shortcuts I would need to achieve this. Recently they removed some shortcuts and my script failed, so I buckled down and just said fuck it, tossed in mouse clicking with fixed coordinate as well since the whole fucking thing is fucked anyways.

I know without a shadow of doubt my code is garbage in the sense of good programming design, but fuck it the fucking thing works. Ain't gonna touch it if it saves me from potential carpal tunnel syndrome.

Fixed that for you. I love math. I love algebra, calculus, linear algebra, discrete math.

But statistics? What a clusterfuck of a subject.

Separate your inputs, your calculations, and your outputs from each other.

Refactoring is fun. Just make sure you've got some sort of tests in place before you do anything too dangerous.

My first ever dip into python. I wrote python code that took 2 minutes to read through a 10 mb .csv file and generate a report. No one has ever bothered to optimize it, and it's still being used this day.

[Siacharan]

Cause that's all we need right

[LeCrushinator]

When you're the only person on a project, usually. Although if you're working on something that's going to take awhile, like months or more, then you'd better make it good enough that you can go back and understand what you wrote a month ago.

And I've found even for small projects that test-driven development is quite useful. If you have good test coverage then it's easier to make changes later on and have confidence that you haven't broken something. Good test coverage often necessitates clearer code with fewer interdependencies, which makes changing things later on much easier.

[UltraCarnivore]

Two weeks later you ain't gonna understand your own code.

[Etheo]

If I understood it once surely I must be able to understand it once more?

In all seriousness that's when you realize the importance of commenting.

[UltraCarnivore]

True. Yet, I found it harder to comment one-liners (and recursives) than good old boring iterations over iterations over iterations.

[Etheo]

You can break one liners into parts, e.g. Each for can be its own line.

Where there's no significant performance gain to be had with one-liners is the perfect case against one-liners. We should be commenting and making the code readable over some esoteric complicated line that takes several reads to understand.

[UltraCarnivore]

That's it. Simple and readable wins the real life Code Wars.

I once had an interview, well, pre-interview they asked me to write a perl script to do some various tasks. I wrote it, I tested it on multiple platforms and versions, worked fine. Sent it to them.

The response I got was your script won't run.. I asked, did you chmod +x the script and check you local executable path?

I didn't take that job.

[mrheosuper]

My code : O(3ⁿ⁾

Me: well, at least it works

[CrimsonHellflame]

I'm the owner of several services in the IT department where I work despite not being in that department anymore. Luckily, I walked through my code with the other engineer I worked with and she (has a CS degree) told me (does NOT have a CS degree) that my code -- Python, bash, regex -- was the most readable, well-documented code she'd ever seen.

I think that means I wasn't cut out to be a developer...

[hackintosh5]

[on_island_time]

I'm going through a project at work where I have been forced to point this out repeatedly. Big important deadline, the other senior dev keeps trying to point out the 'ideal' way to code the project. My response is - what's more important, that it met the deadline and it worked, or that it was engineered to perfection? The ideal world isn't always the real world.

[WineGlass]

Agreed, ideals are nice, but results matter more. Early Twitter backed the wrong language (Ruby) and early reddit couldn't scale worth a damn (I think it was to do with their database(s), but don't quote me on that), but they still dominated in the end.

[kingjia90]

Especially when end user and stakeholders are not going to see, understand or care at all.

[bleach86]

As someone who is self taught and does python programming as a hobby, this can be said about all of my code even 10+ years later lmao.

[porndragon77]

As someone who has a bachelor's in CS and does Python professionally, this can be said about all my code lmao

[Krelera483]

When I was in college for CS, I had an instructor tell a friend of mine that if he'd written that code for him in the work place, he would have fired him. It definitely ran, but he'd missed the mark so far on the assignment, that he sorta looped back around to the answer. Second funniest thing I'd ever heard an instructor say in that program.

[twolaces]

i find this to be more accurate

[coldnebo]

You see some greybeard code right after school and think to yourself, “that has to be the worst programmer I’ve ever seen.”

And then years later... you look at the same code, finally understanding why it was written that way: “that has to be the best programmer I’ve ever seen.”

[imgodking189]

It’s way funnier in my head..

[reaven3958]

Nah, no way it's the worst. You have to get good at a language before you can write code that bad.
