The Highest Paid Engineer's Dress Code

The holy war of brace styles rages on, but this code takes it to a whole new level of depravity. While the tweet generously says "Use whatever brace style you prefer," it then showcases code with braces scattered like confetti after a New Year's party. Those closing triple braces at the end? Pure nightmare fuel. It's like watching someone build a house where some doors open inward, some outward, and others just lead to brick walls. The inconsistent indentation is the cherry on top of this crime against humanity. This is why code reviews exist. And therapists.

Ever seen a codebase that looks like it was designed by drunk toddlers playing Jenga? That's what happens when someone utters those fateful words: "Just keep coding. We can always fix it later." This brick wall is basically every legacy project I've inherited. Sure, it technically "works" in the same way this wall technically exists — but one strong breeze (or one edge case) and the whole thing collapses faster than my will to live during a 3 AM production hotfix. And that promised refactoring? It's like saying "I'll start my diet tomorrow" — we all know it's never happening. By the time you circle back, you'll need a team of archaeologists to understand what that spaghetti mess was supposed to do in the first place.

Ah yes, the classic startup "opportunity" where you can trade actual money for the possibility of future money! The red flag is so big it could guide ships through fog. Translation: "We can't afford developers but we're pretty sure our idea is the next Facebook. Trust us, bro." Zero applicants after three weeks? Shocking! Almost as if professional developers enjoy paying rent and buying food. The audacity of calling unpaid work a "stake in our future" instead of what it really is—gambling with your time.

Nothing says "modern gaming" quite like paying premium prices for games that run like they're being emulated on a toaster. AAA studios are out here slapping Denuvo DRM on unoptimized garbage, then marketing DLSS and FSR as "features" when they're really just band-aids for their spaghetti code. "Hey, buy our $80 game that needs your $2000 GPU to run at 30fps! Oh, and we'll throw in some day-one DLC for just $19.99!" The gaming industry is the only place where you can sell a broken product and expect customers to thank you for the privilege of beta testing it.
