Workaround 3: The Unofficial Guide

Step 3: Implementing the Unnecessary Patch

As we've established, the current implementation of the system is, well, less than ideal. In this step, we'll introduce a patch that will make everything slightly worse.

Substep 3.1: The Patch

Insert the following code into the relevant file:

        
            // The infamous line of code that will make everything slightly worse
            var workaround_3 = "I'm not sure what this does";
            console.log(workaround_3);
        
    

And then, just to be sure, add a comment to explain what's happening here:

        
            // This is the part where we break the internet
            // (Just kidding, or are we?)
        
    

Substep 3.2: The Bloat

As we're sure you've noticed, the previous step has added 427 bytes to our file size. To make up for it, we'll add some extra whitespace:

        
            // Add 100 lines of whitespace to make up for the added bloat
            var extra_whitespace = " ";
            var extra_whitespace += "\n";
            var extra_whitespace += " ";
            // 100 more lines of this
        
    

And don't forget to add a few extra comments to remind ourselves what's happening here:

        
            // This is the whitespace that's saving us all
            // From the crushing weight of our own incompetence
        
    

Substep 3.3: The Unfortunate Reality

As we're sure you've realized by now, our work so far has not exactly improved the system.

But don't worry! We'll just add some more features to "fix" the issue:

Or, you know, just go back to Step 1 and start over.
