This programmer just discovered the joy of integer overflow in real life! The odometer reads "P 181181" but they're advertising it as just 45km. Classic programmer move—technically it's just 45km... after rolling over from 999,999! It's like when your unit tests pass because you didn't account for edge cases. The authorities might call it "fraud," but programmers call it "unexpected feature behavior." Next time try using a uint64 for your odometer, buddy!

The code is a perfect example of why game developers shouldn't be allowed near RNGs unsupervised! 😂 What we're looking at is a glorious mess of Python where someone created two nearly identical functions ( count_greater_than_11 and count_greater_than_5 ) that generate random numbers between 1-20 and increment a counter when the number exceeds a threshold. But wait! The function names and comments don't even match - one says "greater than 11" in the comment but checks for > 10 in the code, while the other claims to check for > 5 but actually checks for > 4! And then there's that lonely is_divisible_by_7 function at the bottom, just hanging out with no apparent connection to anything else. It's like someone started implementing their own version of RNG bias with specific magic numbers, got bored halfway through, and shipped it anyway. This is probably why that boss battle feels unfairly difficult every 7th attempt...

The eternal battle between readable code and cryptic shortcuts! That one dev who insists on using x , tmp , and mgr instead of userAccountBalance , temporaryStorage , or connectionManager . Future maintainers will spend hours deciphering what bm.prc() does while the original author smugly thinks they're being efficient by saving 17 keystrokes. Bonus points if they also comment with "obvious function, no explanation needed." Clean code isn't just nice—it's practically a moral obligation. Your colleagues aren't mind readers, and neither is your future self at 2am during a production outage!
