It's So Easy To Mess Up

The modern dev partnership nobody asked for but everyone's getting. You're over here writing tangled, unmaintainable code that somehow works (classic spaghetti), while AI swoops in to add the only thing that makes it palatable - some actual structure and features. Let's be honest, your code was going to production either way, but now it's slightly less likely to collapse under its own weight. The real irony? That chef looks more confident about the result than any of us feel about our codebase.

That brief moment of professional pride when you squash a bug, immediately shattered by the client's "While you're at it..." speech. Fixing one issue is like putting a band-aid on the Titanic - there's always an iceberg of three more critical bugs lurking beneath the surface. The client's timing is impeccable too, waiting until you've mentally closed the ticket and started daydreaming about that coffee break you'll never get.

Content ?php header ("Content-type: texthtml; charsetutf-8"); This is a warning to any poor soul who may have to deal with this code. I took over this criminal piece of chaos from a monkey named Joel who I assume had been given a typewriter by Mephistopheles himself. For reasons I have yet been unable to fathom, he decided to patch together this thing using a BaseX setup hardwired into an unfixably broken Manjaro VM, queried by a handwritten plate of uncommented PH spaghetti fit to feed an army of people with a serious death wish, without any framework or CMS. The very long BaseX script, very long PH presenter and very long XSLT stylesheet mostly perform the same heuristic document structuring for different components and are supposed to produce compatible results, but I bet they have mismatches somewhere. Since Prof. T just wanted a few small functional enhancements, I decided to just patch it and keep the general setup. Unless you were hired to correct some spelling mistakes, DO NOT FOLLOW IN MY STEPS. Putting up with this simulation of how a goldfish would design a system has literally given me CLINICAL DEPRESSION. This is not an exaggeration, I am writing this after a prolonged medical therapy - mostly successful, thanks for asking, but not fun. I wouldn't wish this code on anybody who isn't a manager at Oracle or Facebook, and therefore give you this sincere advice: Nuke this. Take the XSLT if you must, and then nuke the app and recreate it in Django or whatever works for you. I would do it myself, but I risked a relapse simply by opening this file again to write this comment. Dear brother or sister, I wish you all the luck and strength in the world and hope it will be enough.

OH. MY. GOD. Who wrote this abomination?! 😱 The function isEven(x) is literally comparing a number to the STRING "even"?! The absolute AUDACITY! Instead of doing basic math like x % 2 == 0 , some chaotic evil developer decided to check if a number equals the word "even"! This is the coding equivalent of using a chainsaw to spread butter. I can't even begin to process the mental gymnastics required to create this monstrosity. And the worst part? Someone, somewhere is probably using this in production RIGHT NOW. 💀
