When I Was 11 Years Old, I Didn't Know About Arrays And Objects In JavaScript, But Really Wanted To Make A Game. So I Invented My Own Data Structures!

When I Was 11 Years Old, I Didn't Know About Arrays And Objects In JavaScript, But Really Wanted To Make A Game. So I Invented My Own Data Structures!
Behold, the cursed art of using eval() to concatenate strings as variable names, creating what is essentially the world's most horrifying key-value store. Instead of using blocks[blockId].x like a normal human being, this 11-year-old genius decided to dynamically construct variable names like "lev" + level + "block" + blockId + "x" and eval them into existence. It's like watching someone reinvent the wheel, except the wheel is square, on fire, and somehow still rolling. The sheer determination to check collision boundaries and directions by string-concatenating variable names together is both terrifying and oddly impressive. Every senior dev who sees this code feels a strange mix of horror and nostalgia, because let's be real—we've all written something equally cursed when we were young and didn't know better. The difference is most of us burned the evidence.

When AI Writes Your Hello World

When AI Writes Your Hello World
When you're so lazy that you ask AI to write a "Hello World" program and then execute it directly without even reading the code. That final eval code is just *chef's kiss* - the perfect blend of modern efficiency and complete disregard for security. Nothing says "senior developer" like blindly executing code from the internet. Security team having a stroke in 3... 2... 1...

Fair Enough (AI Will Fix It)

Fair Enough (AI Will Fix It)
Look at this absolute masterpiece of error handling. When things go wrong, just ask OpenAI to fix it and eval() whatever it returns. Because nothing says "I trust the process" like blindly executing code from an AI in production. The cherry on top? Generating random passwords for users who probably wanted to use their own. Security through confusion - it's the new standard.

The eternal evolution of every programmer's calculator journey! The "noob" writes an entire Python program with separate functions for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, complete with a menu system and user input handling. Meanwhile, the "pro" just drops a single line of pure evil: print(eval(input("Enter Expression: "))) . Why write 25 lines when you can write 1 and let users execute arbitrary code on your machine? Nothing says "I trust my users" like giving them a direct pipeline to your system's interpreter. Security? Never heard of her! This is the programming equivalent of building an entire house vs. just leaving your front door wide open with a sign that says "come on in and do whatever!"
