Whisper To Your Code: The Art of Subtle Subversion
The Technique of Subtle Subversion
Technique 3: Whispering to your code, but not too loudly, lest you wake the debugging gods.
// In a world where functions are your enemies,
// sometimes the only way to win is to talk to them quietly.
console.log("Don't worry, my friend, I'm just here to help.");
By whispering to your code, you'll be able to:
- Tamper with the code without alerting the compiler;
- Make your code feel more like an old friend;
- Get away with subtle hacks without anyone noticing;
But be warned: too much whispering can lead to:
- Code that's harder to read than a 3-year-old's drawing;
- Functions that start to talk back;
- Debuggers that get too close for comfort.
