The Hardcoded Chess Nightmare
When your friend discovers you're hardcoding an entire chess game by manually printing each board state for every possible move. 2.6 million lines of code instead of using a chess library or even basic loops? That's not programming, that's digital masochism. The real checkmate here isn't on the board—it's the developer's sanity. Somewhere, a computer science professor just felt a disturbance in the force and doesn't know why.

The Great Escape From Algorithm 101
The professor asked for a pattern program, and this student just hard-coded every single line with printf statements. No loops, no logic, just brute force printing. And now they're running away from the teacher because they know what's coming. It's the coding equivalent of answering "what's 5+7?" by saying "I memorized that it's 12" instead of explaining addition. Sure, it works... technically. But you've missed the entire point of the exercise and any self-respecting CS professor is going to hunt you down for this crime against algorithms.

It Won’T Get Any More Compact.
Oh my goodness, this is peak programmer laziness at its finest! 😂 Instead of writing a proper validation function that checks if a number is an integer, some poor soul decided to hardcode EVERY POSSIBLE DECIMAL VALUE around 17 and 18 with error messages! The only value that returns True is exactly 18 (no decimals). The irony is that writing a simple isinstance(x, int) would be like 1000x more compact than this monstrosity. This is what happens when you code at 3am after your fifth energy drink! The "It Won't Get Any More Compact" title is just *chef's kiss* sarcastic perfection!

This Is What Hard Coding Looks Like
The ultimate programmer dad joke has arrived! This meme shows a mattress literally shaped like the letter "S" between two bed frames - making it "hard-coded" in the most physical sense possible. It's what happens when you take programming terms literally. This is exactly what your senior developer warned you about when they said "don't hardcode values!" Now we know why - your code ends up sleeping uncomfortably and waking up with back problems. The only thing more painful than maintaining this bed would be maintaining the legacy code it represents.
