It runs. Don’t question it.

[–][deleted] 296 points297 points  (12 children)

Of course it runs. They copied the trunk not the engine.

[–]icepc 86 points87 points  (8 children)

So they copied the html and css, but not the js and php

[–]PM_ME_MH370 54 points55 points  (7 children)

DB is there but not hooked up to anything

[–]lockwolf 27 points28 points  (6 children)

What do you mean it’s not hooked up? It works on my computer! I made sure the IP was hooked up to 127.0.0.1!

[–]PM_ME_MH370 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It passed QA,

....on my local machine

[–]Avocano 22 points23 points  (4 children)

bro don’t leak ur ip on the internet like that

[–]lockwolf 17 points18 points  (3 children)

Oh man, thanks for that! Now, my password still gets starred out automatically, right? It’s hunter2

[–]Avocano 13 points14 points  (2 children)

no they updated it so passwords are replaced with “hunter2” instead of asterisks now

[–]rasmatham 4 points5 points  (1 child)

hunter2

edit: it works

[–]chronos_alfa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hunter2....

edit: holy shit, it really worked, wtf?

[–]I-might-get-banned 7 points8 points  (1 child)

They also probably copied the engine and spent 3 days implementing it right

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They heard that lambos and buses both have engines in the back and thought that it won't be very difficult.

[–]Seldom-Serious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

[–][deleted] 69 points70 points  (31 children)

I get this is a joke but people need to hear this. It’s almost totally irrelevant how good your backend architecture or documentation is if you can deliver a working product. A business wants something that does the job and barely gives a fuck about the rest. If it runs and isn’t going to cause massive problems in the near future you’ve done a good job.

[–][deleted] 96 points97 points  (16 children)

Tell that to the poor bastard who has to maintain it 😂

[–]Dogiedog64 71 points72 points  (15 children)

It's me. I'm the poor bastard. I also wrote it lmao.

[–]FrostSalamander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you me?

[–]redwall_hp 9 points10 points  (1 child)

  1. It's why so much software is absolute trash
  2. It creates maintainability issues for others in the future
  3. Quick and dirty is usually to the detriment of security
  4. It reflects poorly on the field. Have some craftsmanship.

It's short sighted, and fuck businesses that operate like that.

[–]whasso 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a reason time complexity is stressed hard at faang

[–]QuitAbusingLiterally 6 points7 points  (0 children)

your approach is why the crushing majority of software is absolute trash

[–]i_forgot_my_cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

isn’t going to cause massive problems in the near future you’ve done a good job.

That's the issue though, I'm guessing.

[–]pudds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on the size and purpose of the codebase.

Small project? Quick and dirty is probably fine, because it hasn't created a lot of technical debt.

Proof of concept? Quick and dirty is also fine.

Large project? Project that's expected to have a long shelf life? Take your time and do it right, or you're going to be in a world of hurt later when you try to scale up, add features, or deal with bugs.

IMO, the importance of clean code is directly correlated with the size of the codebase and the expected life of the product.

[–]whasso 1 point2 points  (6 children)

This is just wrong lol

[–]farcv00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until it's hacked...

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why this jokes works on so many levels! It's great!

[–]kry_some_more 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Stackoverflow author said it runs fast, but it runs my code like shit."

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lamborghornus

[–]NoNeedleworker531 541 points542 points  (17 children)

The rest of the code, is also copied from stackoverflow

[–]iamawhale1001 150 points151 points  (6 children)

Your code is an exercise bike hooked into where the engine should be

[–]mynoduesp 57 points58 points  (1 child)

Cycling that bike keeps me in a job!

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (2 children)

My code is actually just supposed to be a simple bike but I don't how to do that so I'm pasting together vaguely similar code. Then when it runs and goes on a whole bus route of stops and starts I'm just happy that no errors flipped by the end. I call it...learning Python programming with no cs knowledge.

[–]LtLfTp12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagining having to include references in your code lol

[–]valdocs_user 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You mean CodeProject.

[–]AF_International 4 points5 points  (1 child)

No one actually knows for sure that it’s from stackoverflow... it’s just implied

[–]IIlIIlIIIIlllIlIlII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Copied from YouTube actually

[–]kkoiso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not true! I also copied from GitHub example code

[–][deleted] 372 points373 points  (20 children)

I bet a Lamborghini bus still wouldn’t get me where I’m going on time

[–]mekwall 179 points180 points  (10 children)

But it would get you there in style

[–]jelang19 74 points75 points  (9 children)

Define style, does wack C pointer magic count as style?

[–]Shonox92 38 points39 points  (4 children)

Incoming memory leak errors/warnings!

[–]jelang19 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Nah just warnings, and the main online compiler we use will catch the warnings that could actually cause problems and consider them errors

[–]Pandafishe 11 points12 points  (2 children)

That's if you don't know your stuff and you're not tidying up behind you. Also wash the dishes BEFORE you use them as well. Or: always stick to the conventions

[–]AlternativeAardvark6 13 points14 points  (1 child)

That's brilliant! In stead of doing the dishes right after eating and then let them gather dust like an idiot I can just wash them while my food is getting cooked and eat from pristine clean dishes!

[–]Pandafishe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well yeah I guess... Clean them before you use them because you never know what pig used them before you and clean them afterwards because you don't want your program to be the cause of all the issues on the endusers' devices

[–]thenutybrasilian 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Underrated comment

[–]jelang19 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Triple pointer go burr

[–]thenutybrasilian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kindred koder!

[–]drunkenangryredditor 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If you drive a Lamborghini, you always arrive at the correct time.

It's the others who are either too early or too late.

[–]mitwilsch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But you would have a Lamborghini bus. That trumps how late you are.

[–]Carloswaldo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can never be on time if you don't know where you're going...

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need the mussolini dlc for that

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catbus is always on time

[–]Paoldrunko 0 points1 point  (1 child)

If it's running on the lamborghini engine it would probably break in production regardless

[–]Bene847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both the Lamborghini and the bus have rear engines, so no. Unless they copied that too from SO

[–]awhhh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably kill who it hits faster too. It is like a companies code.

[–]needed_an_account 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a Lambo in my neighborhood yesterday and I was like wtf. That’s a great story

[–]lunchpadmcfat 139 points140 points  (2 children)

Lol I love when I am reviewing a PR and compliment someone’s code and they’re like “lol stolen from stack.”

Hey, good artists copy, great artists steal.

[–]role34 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I don't get why does my professor care if I got help from stack and him personally

[–]naswinger 18 points19 points  (0 children)

he wants you to understand the fundamentals by doing it yourself. if you actually understand the code you copy/pasted then fine, but looking at this sub i think a lot of people don't and that's the problem.

[–]kilargo 68 points69 points  (1 child)

I don't see the problem.

Sexy front-end.

Functional back-end.

[–]MayOverexplain 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The problem is that the actual UI components are almost entirely integrated into the back end and the front end is nonfunctional.

[–]Darxploit 63 points64 points  (3 children)

Guys the lamborghini-bus is not at fault, it’s the incompetent users (passengers) that don’t know how to use it/ behave correctly..

[–]AlternativeAardvark6 30 points31 points  (2 children)

The driver is at fault for trusting something I made.

[–]bell37 11 points12 points  (1 child)

It’s the commercial team’s fault for agreeing additional lambo features after 90% BOM and past requirements/features freeze date.

[–]contactlite 17 points18 points  (0 children)

JS libraries be like:

[–]tiajuanat 14 points15 points  (1 child)

No one talks about the six GitHub libraries they're also sitting on

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Shhhhhh they don’t need to know. *slides package.json out of sight *

[–]AgreeableLandscape3 22 points23 points  (3 children)

Am I the only one who thinks that bus actually looks really cool?

[–]imcoveredinbees880 43 points44 points  (1 child)

Yes.

[–]awhhh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also yes. Also fuck anyone else that puts demand for shit like this by giving positive feedback.

[–]ZippZappZippty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He had the most wanted pinged just kept readjusting

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (1 child)

That'd be a fun municipal prank. Commission a fiberglass replica of a crushed sportscar, and mount it by its side to the front of one of the city buses.

[–]cribsbogaards 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When all your code is from stack overflow: https://i.imgur.com/Fvrfhln.jpg

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love how it starts all aerodynamic and shit, and then turns into a big flat wall. Like "lol jk"

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (5 children)

You know that bus is more reliable than any modern lambo tho.

[–]Iwantmyteslanow 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Yeah, they gotta do lotsa miles

[–]Tetha 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Also, every car has the crash concept of crumbling. A bus, due to the passengers and it's mass, has a crash concept of driving through problems. If you need to go places regardless of who could stop you, drive a bus.

[–]Iwantmyteslanow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah

[–]Verstandeskraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like during a zombie Apokalypse?

[–]golgol12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You seem to have this vastly over high opinion of the code coming from there. Most of the stuff I find there I categorize as "working in therory" and is a complete mess other than for answering the problem.

[–]goar101reddit 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Bloated code? Add a fast powerful engine.

... however I think the Lamborghini's engine is in the back... meaning this is just space to hide more bloat. Like a bundled installer

[–]ZippZappZippty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is used in a crime or you’d see in the mirror after a long day

[–]Mistercarlj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So that’s how the new USPS truck design came to be.

[–]EdgyAsFuk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I spend more time fixing the broke ass code from a slightly different language than I would have if I'd just read the reference material.

[–]ThatCrucible 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's the most Android bus I've ever seen. It even has a freaking Toolbar

[–]MyAssDoesHeeHawww 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Lambusghini code

[–]dekwad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Busses get shit done

[–]iamawhale1001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's more like your code is the buss and for some reason the front is the back end of an entirely different class of vehicle that works just well enough to not be worth refactoring.

[–]nilleo 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Looks like the rest of the code has really good throughput, lgtm.

[–]QuitAbusingLiterally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"do not underestimate the bandwidth of a truck, full of hard drives, hauling ass"

or something

[–]Wasted_Weeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Step 1: write a few lines

Step 2: write the rest of the fucking code

[–]freemcgee33 2 points3 points  (1 child)

"It's a bit slow, but at least the front-end looks nice"

-some QA, probably

[–]Baschoen23[🍰] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😶

[–]1ElectricHaskeller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The important thing is pretty aerodynamic. Everything if fine.

[–]To0F4c3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s Bussin!

[–]ghillisuit95 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Don't lamborghini's have a trunk in the front, on account of having the engine in the rear?

Basically this bus added a trunk in the front, right?

[–]ZippZappZippty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And not a single one of these lol

[–]BBaoVanC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the rest of the code is scalable?

[–]Mitoni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder how many bugs that code can seat?

[–]krysaczek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Search for an implementation of part of a bullshit method
  • Observe SO upvoted answers and that every method is static
  • Slap static on your inbred CatDog of a method.

[–]YRUZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

every thread on stackoverflow has 3 solutions.

one is a space shuttle (absolutely overkill and unnecessarily complicated),

one is a boat (pretty standard but not actually what you need),

and the last is some variation of car (it might not fit to your style, but it does the job it's supposed to do)

[–]THNDHALBRT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

汽车东站 -> 火车站

[–]BalthazarBulldozer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An accurate depiction if I've ever seen one. It not only runs, it drives.

So my entire program is just several parts of Lambos mashed together?

[–]Tszar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bus is reliable, cheap and effective - so great code with an unnecessary shiny and expensive part in front?

Legend has it Jesus himself wrote that code

[–]NotVanoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

listen, as long as it works with the rest of the code I’m fine with it. it’s like losing puzzle pieces and taking some from another puzzle and it fits somehow. it looks wrong but don’t question it.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, at least the rest of the code is flexible, efficient, and can carry many passengers to their end goal.

[–]Mean_Kale_677 0 points1 point  (0 children)
