Coding Habits for the Self-Induced Doubt-ridden
Are you tired of writing code that works just fine, but still feels like a mess of spaghetti and regret?
Do you find yourself constantly questioning your life choices, wondering if this is all there is, and questioning the very fabric of reality?
Welcome to our self-doubt-filled guide to coding habits, where we explore the intersection of code and existential dread.
Lesson 1: The Futility of Code Comments
You know the drill: you write a beautiful piece of code, and then someone comes along and says "I have no idea what this does."
Avoid this fate by writing comments in the style of a 19th-century existential philosopher: cryptic, confusing, and occasionally referencing the meaninglessness of life.
Learn more about the art of writing comments that defy understanding.
Lesson 2: The Sisyphus of Debugging
You stare at your screen, willing the bug to go away, like a latter-day Sisyphus pushing his rock up the mountain.
Avoid this fate by embracing the futility of your endeavors, and instead of trying to find the bug, simply acknowledge that it's just a meaningless speck of code in an infinite sea of code.
Read about the Sisyphean approach to debugging.
Or, try throwing sticks at bugs for an alternative approach.
That's all for today, folks. Come back tomorrow for more self-doubt-filled coding wisdom.
