The Selective Amnesia Of Software Developers

The gaming industry's version of "works on my machine." Someone's proudly showing off Stellar Blade's PC port selling a million copies in 3 days, while gamers are sitting there like Patrick Bateman with that smug smile thinking, "Cool story, but where's that Bloodborne PC port we've been begging for since 2015?" Nothing like watching executives celebrate the wrong win while the community's actual requests collect dust in some Sony basement. It's the corporate equivalent of fixing the office coffee machine when the servers are on fire.

The pinnacle of useless documentation right here. Just like when your colleague writes // increment i by 1 next to i++ but completely fails to explain why that Byzantine sorting algorithm exists in the first place. The real tragedy is when you return to your own code six months later and find comments like "Fix this later" with no explanation of what "this" is or why it needs fixing. Meanwhile, the actual complex logic remains a mysterious black hole with zero documentation. Pro tip: If your comments could be replaced by a fortune cookie message and provide the same level of insight, you're doing it wrong.

Ah yes, C programming at its finest—writing a C program whose sole purpose is to create and execute a bash script. Because why use one language when you can use two? This developer is basically using a nuclear submarine to cross a puddle. The irony is delicious. The code claims "Programming in C is easy" while demonstrating the most convoluted way possible to print "hello world"—by having C generate a bash script with execute permissions, which then prints the message. It's like building a machine that builds a machine that ties your shoelaces. Four system calls when a single printf would do. This is the programming equivalent of taking a flight from New York to Boston with a layover in Tokyo.
