Article 30: We, the coders of the world, hereby declare that it is our inalienable right to be marginally less terrible at our jobs.
Whereas, we have been subjected to the slings and arrows of outrageous code reviews, the sting of poorly written tests, and the constant nagging of managers who just don't get it.
We, the undersigned, do solemnly pledge to strive for mediocrity, to aim for a 50% reduction in bugs per hour, and to never, ever, use a semicolon in an if statement.
Article 31: We, the coders of the world, do hereby reserve the right to use Comic Sans in all our projects, because Helvetica is just so... boring.
Article 32: We, the coders of the world, do hereby declare that the best way to write a comment is to not write one at all, and instead just leave a trail of subtle, yet infuriating, variable names.
