When You Read Your 3 Years Old Code

Content CHOP CHOP AARGH WHY IS THIS STRUCTURE HERE? WHERE COULD THIS BRIDGE POSSIBLY LEAD ? WHAT A HORRIBLY DESIGNED STREET, MOST INEFFICIENT. WHAT IS ALL THIS CRAP? THIS SIGN DOESN'T HELP ME MUCH. THiS IS BRIDGE GOOD GOD! WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS CONTRAPTION DO? I hate reading other people's code.

The optimism-to-reality pipeline in software development is brutal. That moment when you convince yourself a new VS Code project will be quick and clean... then fast forward to a month later when your desk looks like someone electrocuted a rainbow. The "2-day estimate" is the biggest lie in tech, right up there with "the code is self-documenting" and "we'll refactor later." Those tangled wires are basically the physical manifestation of your codebase after scope creep, technical debt, and four desperate StackOverflow visits at 2 AM.

Content Quora Open in App Sign In When I was 4, my sister was 2. I am now 44. How old is my sister? Samuel Lipoff, studied at Harvard University Updated April 5, 2020 This is a tough one. She might be 42, but she could be 41 or 43 also, since you don't say when your birthday is and her birthday is. Also, she could be dead. Finally, you might have thought she was your sister but actually your mom had an affair with another man and the woman who is 1-3 younger than you is not actually your sister. But your mom may have given away your real sister for adoption, in which case she's probably older than you. See why it's tough? Finally, what if you think your sister is dead, but she actually has become an astronaut on a secret government project for near light-speed travel? Then your sister would be aging more slowly than you, so she could potentially be even younger than 41. 118.2K views View 142 Upvoters - View Sharers reddit
