Reject Algorithms Return To Monke

Ah, the eternal paradox of our profession. In theory, you've memorized every design pattern and algorithm known to mankind. In practice, you're randomly changing semicolons to see if that fixes the bug. And somehow when you combine both approaches, you end up with code that's simultaneously broken and functional – a quantum superposition of "it works on my machine" and "don't touch it or everything explodes." Just another Tuesday in the salt mines of logic.

That code is what happens when you tell a developer "we need to save space" but forget to mention "code readability" as a requirement. Single-letter variables, no comments, and recursive calls that would make even the Python interpreter question its life choices. The smirking girl in front of the disaster is all of us watching our colleagues defend their "optimized" code during code review while the codebase burns in the background. Remember kids, the next person to read your code might know where you live.

Oh honey, you think you're a coding genius with your regex masterpiece? PLEASE! You've just created the programming equivalent of ancient hieroglyphics that even archaeologists would give up on! 💅 That beautiful Martin Fowler quote is SCREAMING at all you regex wizards who craft these incomprehensible one-liners that make future developers contemplate career changes. Sure, your computer understands it. Your colleagues? They're quietly plotting your demise while drowning in regex documentation.

Behold the magnificent ReverseSign() function that single-handedly brought down an entire postal system! Instead of the elegant return -d , some genius decided to check if the number is negative, make it positive, and then... subtract it from itself and multiply by 2? That's like driving to the grocery store by first going to Mexico, then Canada, then back home. The real horror is that this cosmic abomination of code was responsible for financial calculations that sent innocent people to prison. Imagine having your life destroyed because someone couldn't grasp the concept of a negative sign. This is what happens when you let people who failed "Programming 101" write mission-critical financial software. Fun fact: This code is so bad that it fails for the number 0 (which doesn't change sign) and introduces potential overflow errors. It's like building a nuclear reactor with duct tape and wishful thinking.

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of programming languages to call these functions "random" when they're about as random as my aunt Gertrude's weekly bingo schedule! 🙄 These so-called "random" functions are LITERALLY just deterministic algorithms in disguise, honey! Feed them the same seed, and they'll spit out the exact same sequence EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. The BETRAYAL! It's like ordering a "surprise" meal but getting the same chicken sandwich for the 57th time. JUST CALL THEM WHAT THEY ARE - pseudorandom! The Matrix kid knows what's up!

Ah, the evolution of game development—from heroic optimization wizards to corporate dumpster fires. Remember when devs were literal coding gods who could fit entire games in kilobytes and make them run on a potato? Now we've got these "Triple A" clowns shipping 50GB broken messes, requiring NASA computers, and forcing you to be online just to play a single-player game. The best part is the "optimization" advice. "Just buy a better PC, bro" is the game dev equivalent of "have you tried turning it off and on again?" except it costs you $2000. And let's not even address whatever the hell is happening with that breast milk situation. Modern gaming, everyone! 👏
