Real Man Ide

Content Lars Doucet larsiusprime Follow Due to my elite programming skills, I figured out how to shave off THIRTY SECONDS from my app's startup time. Here's some optimization tips: 1.

Left side: if (x) - Clean, elegant, gets the job done. The face of a developer who writes efficient code and doesn't waste keystrokes. Right side: if (x == true) - The haunting visage of someone who also types "ATM machine" and enters their "PIN number" at the "LCD display." Probably uses light mode in their IDE too. The explicit comparison is redundant since the condition already evaluates to a boolean. It's like ordering a "hamburger with meat" - we know, that's what makes it a hamburger.

Theoretical computer scientists really out here creating algorithms with time complexity that looks like someone smashed their keyboard while having a seizure—O(n 72649 lg 72 (n))—and then celebrating like they just won the lottery because "hey, at least it's polynomial time!" The P vs NP problem has these folks so desperate for wins that proving something is solvable in polynomial time (even if that polynomial makes the heat death of the universe look quick) is cause for celebration. Sure, your algorithm would take longer than the age of the universe to sort a deck of cards, but technically it's in P, so break out the champagne! It's like saying "I can walk to Mars" and when everyone looks at you skeptically, you add "well, it's theoretically possible!" Meanwhile, us practical programmers are over here optimizing O(n log n) to O(n) and actually shipping products.

When your standards have fallen so low that a new error message feels like winning the lottery. The desk covered in crumpled papers tells the whole story - six hours of debugging only to celebrate that the computer found a creative new way to tell you your code is garbage. Progress in programming is measured in increasingly exotic failures.
