indentation Memes

Behold the majestic triangle of nested conditionals—where each layer takes you one get_step() deeper into madness! This magnificent code sculpture starts with a simple function call and then descends through increasingly absurd levels of nesting, creating that beautiful triangular indentation pattern. It's like the developer thought: "Why write a loop when you can create a fractal of if statements?" The real genius is how each return statement has precisely the right number of get_step() calls to match its indentation level. Pure algorithmic poetry—or a cry for help from someone who discovered code folding and decided to test its limits. The "Wedge of Destiny" indeed—because your destiny is to maintain this masterpiece during the 3 AM production outage when you've run out of coffee.

Ah, the eternal holy war of brace placement. Some programmers lose sleep over whether the opening curly brace belongs on the same line or the next. Meanwhile, Haskell programmers are busy putting semicolons in front of statements like they're driving on the left side of the road, and Lisp is over there doing... whatever Lisp does with those parentheses. The real joke is that we spend hours debating syntax while our actual algorithms still don't work.

Ever stared at eye tracking data in YAML format? It's like watching your life decisions unfold in real-time, but with more indentation errors. This beautiful mess of coordinates, timestamps, and pupil dilations is exactly what happens when someone takes the "/s" tag too literally. The joke being that YAML's human-readable format completely falls apart when you dump raw numerical data into it. Eight years of engineering experience has taught me one thing: just because you can store something in YAML doesn't mean you should . This is the digital equivalent of storing soup in a colander.
