Me Spending 2 Hours Naming A Variable Vs My Neighbor Naming Their Wi-Fi

3 hours ago 74.9K views 0 shares

So you'll agonize over whether a variable should be userData , userInfo , or userDataObject for two hours, consulting Clean Code and three senior devs... but your neighbor just casually drops "Silence of the LANs" and "Tell my Wi-Fi love her" without breaking a sweat. Meanwhile, you're still debating camelCase vs snake_case while they're out here creating masterpieces like "Martin Router King" and "The LAN Before Time." They've got more creativity in their router settings than you've had in your entire codebase. The real kicker? Their naming convention is probably more memorable than your perfectly semantic fetchUserDataFromDatabaseAndTransformToDTO function that you spent half a sprint naming.

Rapid Prototyping With AI

When you tell the client your AI-powered prototype is "almost done," they see a beautiful Old West town ready for action. Meanwhile, you're looking at a construction site held together by scaffolding, duct tape, and prayers to the TypeScript gods. Sure, the facade looks impressive from the street view, but behind the scenes? It's all exposed beams, missing walls, and architectural decisions that would make any code reviewer weep. That's AI-generated code for you—looks production-ready in the demo, but the moment you peek under the hood, you realize you're basically debugging a half-finished movie set. At least it compiles... sometimes.

Java devs writing exception handling be like: "Yeah I'll catch it. Or not. Whatever happens, happens." The try-catch block is basically a suggestion at this point. Error handling? More like error acknowledging. The code runs, something breaks, you catch it, shrug, and move on with your life. No recovery logic, no fallback, just vibes. At least the compiler's happy.

Extreme Exception Handling

When your error handling is so robust it involves throwing babies across a canyon. The try block launches Baby(), the catch block is desperately reaching to handle it, and the finally block? Just sitting there at the bottom, guaranteed to execute whether the baby gets caught or not. The finally block doesn't care about your success or failure—it's just there to clean up resources and probably call CPS. The visual metaphor here is chef's kiss: the sheer distance between try and catch represents that one function in your codebase where the exception could come from literally anywhere in a 500-line method, and you're just hoping your generic catch block somehow handles it gracefully. Meanwhile, finally is down there like "I'm running regardless, hope you closed those database connections."

Enron Architecture

When your codebase is so sketchy it's basically a federal crime. Building financial products with code so questionable you're not networking at meetups—you're collecting character witnesses for your inevitable trial. Two lawyers, three cops, a judge, and almost Maduro? That's not a professional network, that's a legal defense dream team in the making. Your architecture isn't just bad, it's "cooking the books" level fraudulent. At least Enron had the decency to collapse quickly—your technical debt is the gift that keeps on giving to law enforcement.

When The Code Is Written Entirely By AI

Rick confidently throws a portal at the wall, expecting it to work. Cut to him staring at a wall covered in nested if-statements with zero logic inside them. That's your AI-generated codebase right there. You ask ChatGPT for a simple function and it gives you seven layers of conditionals that all check the same thing. No else blocks, no early returns, just pure chaos wrapped in the illusion of structure. Sure, it might technically run, but good luck explaining to your team why there are 47 if-statements doing absolutely nothing productive. The best part? The AI will confidently tell you it's "optimized" and "follows best practices." Meanwhile you're left refactoring what looks like a choose-your-own-adventure book written by someone who's never heard of boolean logic.

Nothing says "career advancement" quite like desperately pleading to avoid accountability. Because who needs ownership, code reviews, or the ability to sleep at night when you can just... not be responsible? The beautiful irony here is that becoming a service owner means you'd actually have to care about uptime, monitoring, and those pesky production incidents. Much better to stay in the shadows where your technical debt can compound interest-free and your spaghetti code remains someone else's problem. Pro tip: if you're begging NOT to own something, you've probably already written the exact kind of code that makes service ownership a nightmare. The circle of life continues.

Safe As Fuck

The galaxy brain move right here. Using dark mode isn't just about looking cool or saving battery—it's actually a sophisticated debugging strategy. Light attracts bugs, both the insect kind and the code kind, so naturally switching to dark mode creates a hostile environment where bugs simply cannot thrive. It's basically pest control for your codebase. The "Roll Safe" guy tapping his temple really sells the bulletproof logic: if bugs are attracted to light, and your IDE is pitch black, then mathematically speaking, you've achieved zero-bug nirvana. Forget unit tests, forget code reviews—just invert those RGB values and watch your production issues vanish into the void.

Yes The Fix Did Not Address The Root Problem And Introduced Bugs

You come back refreshed, ready to tackle problems with a clear mind. Then you open the repo and discover your teammates have been "productive" in your absence. That innocent bug fix? Now it's a hydra—cut off one head and three more appear. The band-aid solution that ignores the underlying architectural nightmare? Check. New bugs that weren't even possible before? Double check. The best part is watching that smile slowly morph into existential dread as you realize you'll spend the next week untangling spaghetti code instead of doing actual work. Welcome back to the trenches, soldier. Your vacation tan will fade faster than your will to live.

Is This Programming In The 2026 🤔

Welcome to the dystopian future where your job isn't writing code anymore—it's being a therapist to AI-generated spaghetti code. The AI confidently spits out a module that "works" but nobody understands why, and now you're stuck maintaining it like some cursed artifact. The real kicker? You can't just rewrite it because management loves their shiny AI tool, and explaining that the AI created an unmaintainable mess is like explaining to your cat why it shouldn't knock things off the table. So you sit there, debugging code that has the structural integrity of a house of cards, wondering if your CS degree was just preparation for this exact moment of existential dread. Plot twist: The AI probably trained on Stack Overflow answers, so you're essentially maintaining code written by a neural network that learned from copy-pasted solutions. The circle of life is complete.

When You Finally Remove Useless Classes From Your Code

You know that revolutionary feeling when you delete 3,000 lines of dead code that's been sitting there since the previous dev "might need it later"? Yeah, it's basically a spiritual awakening. Nothing quite matches the dopamine hit of nuking those AbstractFactoryManagerBeanSingletonHelper classes that do absolutely nothing except make your IDE lag. The best part? Running the build and watching everything still work. No broken imports. No mysterious runtime errors. Just pure, clean code liberation. You're basically the Lenin of refactoring, leading the proletariat (your remaining classes) to freedom from the tyranny of bloat. Pro tip: git blame those deleted classes and you'll find they were added during a 3 AM "temporary fix" in 2019. They were never temporary. They were never a fix.

Someone asked for the worst tech advice and honestly, this is peak developer wisdom right here. Just wrap everything in a try-catch block and throw it into the void. Error handling? Never heard of her. Stack traces? Who needs 'em when you can just silently fail and pretend nothing happened. This is basically the programming equivalent of sweeping dirt under the rug and calling it cleaning. Your app crashes? Try-catch. Database connection fails? Try-catch. Existential crisis at 2 AM? Believe it or not, also try-catch. The catch block stays empty though—because acknowledging problems is for people who have time for proper error handling. Production bugs will love you for this approach. Future you will definitely not be cursing past you while debugging why the application just... stops working with zero logs or error messages. Ship it!
