At Least He Closes Brackets Like Lisp

1 day ago 286.8K views 0 shares

When you can mentally rotate a 4D hypercube in your head but suddenly become illiterate when asked to visualize nested loops. The buff doge confidently shows off his spatial reasoning skills, while the wimpy doge just stares at four nested for-loops like they're written in ancient Sumerian. The punchline? That glorious cascade of closing brackets: } } } } – the telltale sign of someone who either writes machine learning code or has given up on life. It's the programming equivalent of those Russian nesting dolls, except each doll contains existential dread and off-by-one errors. The title references Lisp's infamous parentheses situation, where closing a function looks like )))))))) – except now we've upgraded to curly braces. Progress!

This Code Is Sponsored By The Assembling Government

You know what's wild? Someone out there is looking at raw assembly with add , str , imd , and register manipulation and genuinely thinking "yeah, this is totally readable." Meanwhile the rest of us are squinting at it like it's ancient hieroglyphics written by a caffeinated robot. Assembly is what you write when you want job security through obscurity. Sure, it's "perfectly readable" if you've spent the last decade living in a cave with only CPU instruction manuals for company. For everyone else, it's just a beautiful reminder that high-level languages exist for a reason—so we don't have to manually juggle registers like we're performing circus acts. The delusion is real. Every assembly programmer thinks they're writing poetry while the rest of the team needs a PhD just to understand what jmp_eq user_input_end is doing at 3 AM during an incident.

Look at these coding styles and WEEP! The absolute AUDACITY of these formatting choices! We've got Allman with his brackets on new lines like a civilized human, Kernighan & Ritchie keeping it tight, and then... THE HORROR SHOW begins! Haskell style with semicolons at the BEGINNING of lines?! The Lisp style cramming everything together like some kind of code sardine tin?! And don't even get me STARTED on whatever crime against humanity that "Mental Illness" banner is pointing to! This is why programmers need therapy. Your bracket placement reveals your deepest psychological wounds. Choose wisely or forever be judged in code reviews!

Escaping Memory Management Hell

C++ Programming Python Debugging

Leaving behind C++ for Python is like Andy from Toy Story escaping Sid's house. Suddenly all those nightmares of memory management, pointer arithmetic, and segmentation faults just... disappear. You're free! No more spending three hours debugging because you forgot to initialize a pointer. No more sacrificing your sanity to the gods of manual memory allocation. Just clean, readable code that doesn't make you contemplate a career change every Tuesday afternoon. Meanwhile, your old C++ friends (pointers, manual memory management, and that godforsaken main() function) are left behind like abandoned toys, waving goodbye as you drive off into the sunset of higher-level programming. They served their purpose, taught you valuable lessons about computer architecture, and traumatized you just enough to appreciate garbage collection for the rest of your life.

The Variable Name Villain

The eternal struggle of reading someone else's code! Nothing screams "I'm a coding sociopath" quite like variables named 'x', 'y', 'z', and the legendary 'temp'. Future maintainers will spend more time deciphering your cryptic single-letter variable names than actually fixing bugs. It's basically leaving time bombs in your codebase. Clean code? Never heard of it! Bonus points if you name your class 'Mgr' and then wonder why nobody understands your "perfectly logical" architecture six months later. The true mark of a 10x developer is making sure nobody else can be productive with your code.

This Is A Cry For Help I Don't Know How To Write Comments

Who needs comments when your function name is your documentation? That ridiculously long Python function name isn't just a coding style - it's a desperate cry from a developer who'd rather write a novel in snake_case than add a single /* comment */. The best part? Six months later, even they won't remember what the hell that function actually does. Future maintainers will find your LinkedIn just to send hate mail.

The Great Font Size Divide

THE ABSOLUTE AUDACITY of other developers using microscopic ant-sized fonts! I'm over here squinting so hard my eyeballs might pop out like a cartoon character, while they're deciphering code that looks like it was written for electron microscopes! 🔍 Meanwhile, MY coding font is so gloriously massive you could read it from space. Why? Because I'm not trying to impress anyone with how much code I can cram on one screen! My retinas deserve RESPECT and my optometrist deserves a BREAK! The duality is just *chef's kiss* - squinting in agony at their ant colony vs. examining code through a monocle like a distinguished gentleman. Font size is not a personality trait, KAREN!

Quiz: What GUI Framework Am I Using

The GUI framework is clearly "Closing Bracket Hell 2.0". Nothing says modern interface design like nesting so many parentheses, curly braces, and square brackets that your code looks like it's falling down stairs. The indentation is just a formality at this point. Somewhere in there is a button that says "Hello World" but you'll need an archaeology degree to find it. This is the kind of code that makes syntax highlighters question their career choices.

The Great Wave Of Syntax Errors

1 month ago 214.7K views 0 shares

Python developers casually strolling through life while Java and C++ programmers get absolutely demolished by syntax errors. Nothing says "I'm superior" like not needing semicolons to survive. Meanwhile, the other languages are drowning in brackets, pointers, and compiler errors that make you question your career choices. Python's just there like "indentation is all you need, bro." The programming equivalent of showing up to a gunfight with a spoon and somehow winning.

The Code Was Unnecessarily Convoluted

The absolute TRAUMA of opening your old code! You wrote it, you birthed it into existence, and yet three years later it might as well be written in some ancient forbidden language only decipherable by wizards with PhDs in cryptography! 💀 The way we convince ourselves we're documenting properly only to return later and find ourselves staring into the abyss of our own creation like "WHO WROTE THIS MONSTROSITY?!" only to realize... it was us all along. The betrayal! The horror!

Jehovahscript: When Your Code Needs Divine Interpretation

Ah, the classic "my code is unreadable" joke with a religious twist. Some poor soul is looking at code that appears to be written with Hebrew characters and asks if Google Translate is needed to convert it back. The punchline hits when they realize English coding exists, as if they've been living in some bizarre alternate universe where RTL programming is the norm. The real joke here is that we all write code that looks like ancient hieroglyphics to anyone who didn't write it. Your 3AM spaghetti code might as well be in Hebrew, Aramaic, or Klingon for all the sense it'll make to your teammates tomorrow morning.

Be Wary Of Gary's Modern C# Wizardry

Left side: A perfectly normal, readable singleton pattern implementation in C#. Nice clean code, proper indentation, sensible variable names. Right side: The C# 8.0 "Gary version" with questionable syntax choices like ? , ??= , and => operators all crammed into one line. The code technically works but looks like someone had a seizure on the keyboard. Gary is the personification of that one developer who uses every new language feature in a single line just because they can. The kitten is cute though, which makes the abomination of code slightly more tolerable.
