At some point , It happened to all of us . You've produced code that you're not proud of . These codes make you doubt ," How could I write such a thing ?"
There's nothing to be ashamed of . We are just human beings . occasionally , We just didn't do our best .

It happened to me , It happened to you , But it also happens to other developers . It took me some time , Collected the worst code snippets I could find . today , I'll introduce them to you .

however , I only do this under one condition . You must promise me that you will not treat them in a bad way . remember , At some point , You may have written something similar . since it is so , Let's put on open-minded glasses , Play . Here comes the first one !

From the pure look of this code , I guess it's a school project . Needless to say , I express my condolences to the teacher .

today , We'll see isEven Various implementations of functions . This is our first candidate . What I want to say is , We have made a good start . How did you like it? ?

Reasons for buying ultra widescreen displays

There is nothing wrong with verbose variable names . As long as they help improve the readability of the code . But sometimes , We have to ask ourselves  " How long is long ?”

Act of genius

There is nothing to add here . I think this note is self-evident .

Typesetting is the best

The feeling of type safety is very good . So how can you better ensure that you don't make any kind of mistakes ? These guys , They came up with this idea .

If it works , It just works

What are you really talking about . Just make sure that the sum of the parameters is always 7. And this function will not fail .

Make sure it's real Bool

How much pessimism is excessive pessimism ? I want to say this man is really close .

When brilliant ideas flow

Sometimes , You just think you're a rebel . You must do things your own way . But I think we can agree , This type of code should not enter code review .

source

When you are a code farmer, but your passion is calligraphy

I tried different types of fonts . But I have to say , It has never come this far . If it makes you doubt " Is that how pirated software is written ?" You're not alone .

Last thought

I hope you have a good mood when looking at these examples . Of course I am . Welcome to let me know which one you like best . Or if you have some shameful photos to share , Don't be afraid to share it in comments .

I enjoyed browsing through these code snippets . It reminds me of my early days . In my career , I wrote some code snippets that I'm not proud of . But fortunately , No one took a screenshot of them . Or at least I hope so .
