How Explicit Are You

5 hours ago 63.9K views 0 shares

When someone asks how explicit you are with your variable declarations and you respond by declaring a constant integer named FIVE with the value 5... *chef's kiss* 💋 The sheer redundancy! The beautiful, unnecessary verbosity! Why use implicit typing when you can spell out EVERY. SINGLE. DETAIL? It's like writing a novel when a tweet would do, but honestly? The contemplative dog staring into the sunset really captures the existential weight of this life choice. Some people write `const FIVE = 5`, others write `let x = 5`, but you? You're out here declaring `const int FIVE = 5` like you're documenting the laws of mathematics itself. Absolute legend behavior.

The Community

C# devs will tell you "spacing doesn't matter" and write the most beautiful, perfectly formatted code with proper indentation. Then some absolute MONSTER comes along and writes their opening brace on the same line as the method declaration and suddenly it's a CODE RED EMERGENCY. The entire community loses their collective minds like someone just committed a war crime against readability. The hypocrisy is *chef's kiss* – we claim formatting is irrelevant because the compiler doesn't care, but the SECOND you deviate from the sacred Allman style (braces on new lines), you're getting dragged in code review harder than a junior dev who forgot to dispose their database connections.

The great divide: opening curly brace on the same line vs. new line. You'd think we'd have solved world hunger by now, but nope—we're still fighting holy wars over bracket placement. Both camps are convinced they're right, both will die on this hill, and both will passive-aggressively "fix" each other's code during reviews. The left side is the K&R/Java/JavaScript crowd, the right is the Allman style devotees. Plot twist: your linter doesn't care about your feelings and will enforce whatever the team lead decided three years ago.

Imagine Not Using Camel Case

Nothing triggers a developer quite like someone using snake_case when they're a camelCase purist. The sheer horror of watching other programming communities embrace different naming conventions is enough to make you question everything. Meanwhile, the kebab-case folks are just chilling in their CSS files, and the PascalCase crowd is over there acting all superior. But hey, at least we can all agree that SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE should be reserved for constants and angry commit messages.

This Is Quite Powerful

When you discover the ternary operator exists and suddenly feel like you've ascended to a higher plane of programming consciousness. Six lines of pedestrian if-else logic? Nah. One elegant line that makes you feel like you're wearing a tuxedo while coding? Absolutely. Sure, both do the exact same thing, but one makes you look sophisticated at code reviews. The other makes you look like you just finished a "Programming 101" course. We all know which one you're picking. Just wait until you nest three of these bad boys together and your coworkers need a PhD to decipher what you wrote. Peak elegance.

Vibe Coder

You know someone's coding purely on vibes when they start sprinkling emojis into their codebase like it's a text message to their bestie. Nothing screams "I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm having fun" quite like a `// TODO: fix this later 😅` comment or a variable named `isValid✅`. These are the developers who treat their IDE like a social media app, adding 🚀 to deployment scripts and 💀 next to buggy functions. Sure, your code might fail in production, but at least it'll fail with personality. The technical debt is real, but the aesthetic? *Chef's kiss* 👨‍🍳💋

X -= -1 Gang

When three Spider-Men argue about incrementing a variable, but then the fourth one shows up with x -= -1 and everyone loses their minds. It's like bringing a quantum physics textbook to a kindergarten math class. The beauty is that all four expressions do exactly the same thing, but the last one is just mathematical perversion wrapped in syntactic sugar. It's what happens when you code at 3 AM after your sixth espresso and think you're being clever. The compiler just sighs in binary.

X Minus Equals Minus One Gang

The Spider-Men are fighting over increment operators when suddenly... the enlightened one appears. While these rookies are arguing about x++ , x = x+1 , and x += 1 (which all do the same thing), the true galaxy-brain move is x -= -1 . It's like showing up to a knife fight with quantum physics. Sure, it works exactly the same, but it's the coding equivalent of wearing a monocle while eating fast food. Completely unnecessary, wildly pretentious, and somehow... magnificent. Your code reviewer will either fire you or promote you on the spot.

The Evolution Of Conditional Syntax

The syntax evolution of conditional statements is a wild ride! First we have "Elsif" - the fancy Pascal/Ada way that makes you feel like you're coding with a monocle. Then "elif" arrives as Python's sleek, minimalist approach (because who needs those extra letters anyway?). "else if" shows up as the sensible middle ground used in C/C++/Java that actually reads like English. But then... the posh British gentleman at the bottom with "otherwise" - that's some proper Ruby/Haskell functional programming elegance right there. It's like watching conditional statements get progressively more sophisticated until they're sipping tea with their pinky out.

We Have Names For The Styles Now

Remember when we just wrote code without caring about whose "style" it was? Now we've got eight different ways to place your damn curly braces and whitespace in a simple while loop. Kernighan & Ritchie put the opening brace on the same line, GNU indents it differently, and Lisp style crams everything together like code real estate costs a fortune. And don't get me started on Haskell style with those bizarre semicolons. The funniest part? We'll still argue for hours about which one is "correct" while the actual functionality remains identical. Twenty years in this industry and we're still fighting about cosmetics instead of solving real problems.

What Grinds My Gears: Naming Convention Chaos

Three-headed dragon meme showing the naming convention struggle. Two fierce heads labeled "camelCase" and "snake_case" represent proper coding standards. Then there's the derpy third head with its tongue out labeled "This_Thing" – the abomination that combines both conventions and makes senior devs contemplate career changes. The code review is going to be brutal.

The Evolution Of Conditional Statements

Programmers evolving their conditional statements like Pokémon. First there's the clunky uppercase Elsif that nobody likes. Then the more refined lowercase elif that Python devs smugly prefer. But the final form? The proper else if that makes you feel like an adult who pays taxes. And then there's the British chap at the bottom with his fancy otherwise statement, sipping tea while the rest of us peasants use our barbaric syntax. It's the programming equivalent of saying "indeed" instead of "yeah."
