Works On My Machine Syndrome

The holy war of brace styles rages on, but this code takes it to a whole new level of depravity. While the tweet generously says "Use whatever brace style you prefer," it then showcases code with braces scattered like confetti after a New Year's party. Those closing triple braces at the end? Pure nightmare fuel. It's like watching someone build a house where some doors open inward, some outward, and others just lead to brick walls. The inconsistent indentation is the cherry on top of this crime against humanity. This is why code reviews exist. And therapists.

Childhood: "I'll make the next World of Warcraft but with better graphics and cooler weapons!" Reality: Spending 6 months debugging collision detection only to have your game downloaded by your mom and that one supportive friend who gives it a 5-star review despite never making it past the loading screen. The gap between gaming fantasy and game dev reality is basically the distance between "I'm having fun" and "I'm questioning every life choice while staring at a semicolon for three hours."

Content Coding Best Practices: code must be self-documenting, so that even a brief look at it may tell you what it does. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Me: Uhm...

College CS departments be like: "Here's how to implement a red-black tree from scratch" but won't teach you about the horrors of production code written by caffeinated developers at 2AM. The Daily WTF chronicles real-world coding disasters that no algorithm class prepares you for. Nothing says "welcome to the industry" like inheriting a codebase where someone used Excel as a database and regex to parse HTML. Academia vs reality: the eternal comedy special.

While philosophers debate whether the glass is half empty or half full, Excel is over here interpreting your liquid level as a date because why not? This perfectly captures Excel's notorious habit of converting anything remotely numeric into dates whether you want it to or not. Type "1/2" meaning one-half? Nope, that's January 2nd now. Your simple fraction? Sorry, it's February 1st. The eternal struggle of every data analyst who's ever screamed at their screen: "NO EXCEL, THAT'S NOT A DATE!"
