I Already Know That Making Code Prettier Is A Mistake

The eternal struggle of picking up where you left off! The proper way? Detailed commit messages. The realistic way? Random notes. The galaxy brain way? Frantically mashing Ctrl+Z until you recognize something, followed by the inevitable panic of realizing you went too far and desperately hitting Ctrl+Shift+Z to recover. Nothing says "professional software engineer" quite like time-traveling through your code history via undo/redo shortcuts while muttering obscenities under your breath.

When the genie says "no wishing for more wishes," every programmer knows there's a workaround. This dev just exploited the classic integer overflow vulnerability! By storing wishes in an unsigned 32-bit integer (max value: 4,294,967,295) and then cleverly manipulating the order of operations, they've essentially created an infinite wish glitch. The coup de grâce? Wishing for 0 wishes. Since the subtraction happens after the wish is granted, they'll still have 4,294,967,295 wishes left. The genie's face says it all - outsmarted by someone who clearly debugs race conditions for a living. And this, friends, is why you always validate your inputs and use proper synchronization primitives. Otherwise some smartass in a code review will point out how your entire wish-granting API can be exploited.

Content me optimizing my code without actually fixing it: I can't do it can't In it

Trying to delete a branch with git branch -d only to get that passive-aggressive "not fully merged" error is like Git saying "I'm protecting you from yourself." So what do we do? Yell at Git and use the capital -D flag because WE'RE THE BOSS HERE. Git's safety mechanisms are cute until you've spent 8 hours debugging merge conflicts and just want that feature branch gone from your life forever.

Content Things I have learnt from this subreddit as a non programmer - Users just do things that they are not supposed to do and It looks like they are purposely trying to break the code. - Legacy code is written and understood only by gods and they only way to convert it into modern code is to fucking write the thing from scratch. - Jobs require ungodly amount of experience. They want a full stack developer EVERY FUCKING TIME. - Senior devs have given up on life and they just do just enough to get their salaries. They work on production just for the thriller. - There is a communication gap between the client and the programmer just because of the fucking management. - You should never work on the main branch and push things to production but its the norm. - Debugging is staring at the code until it works again. - Programmers just copy and paste code. The only real programmers to ever exist are Terry Davis and some random people who maintain libraries that are responsible for doing math on every computer on the planet. - There is just some mystery code in every codebase that appears to do nothing but when removed sets everything in flames. It is usually commented "Don't touch". - If you ask anything on StackOverflow, Its a stupid question. - Sales teams tell the client that the devs can make everything happen even if its computationally impossible. - Its better to take 5 hours solving bugs rather than spend 5 minutes reading the documentation. Programmers don't have lives anyways. - If you are seeking to learn programming learn JavaScript. The next step is to find a new career
