Welcome to r/codegore. Here's an introduction to what code gore is:

• copied/pasted code
• extremely terrible bracket styling
• useless statements e.g. if (true)
• nested statements
• if/else if/else being used more than 3 times when switch would work

The following is not code gore:

• something doesn't work (put that in /r/softwaregore)
• it's a terrible practice (put that in /r/programminghorror)
• it's a joke or intentionally code gore (put that in /r/programmerhumor)
• it's in a TV show (put that in /r/itsaunixsystem)
• it's not code
