At this stage, our algorithm is already a masterpiece. But we mustn't rest on our laurels. We must optimize for maximum blame, because, let's face it, our users will find a way to blame us.
Introduce unnecessary complexity by declaring a dozen extra variables that do absolutely nothing. This will make it harder for our users to understand the code, ensuring they'll blame us when it breaks.
Next Step: Obfuscate for Maximum ConfusionWe'll add some arbitrary delays and loops to make our users wonder if they're experiencing a "known issue" or if we just hate them.
Step 6: Slow Down for Maximum Frustration
