Programmer Humor

What happens when you give a python programmer java

ok cool do whatever you want. Imma put in a pre-commit hook to auto format everything.

Alright, time to update my team's linters and formatters...

I strongly believe that code formatting does not hold any information and that because of it, compilers should reject non-normalized code, saying "run a formatter first". We have the tooling for most of the languages to make this absolutely painless, remove all head scratching of "what the hell is up with this code style" and just focus of the semantics. I believe that you should be allowed to produce code abominations like this code sample and have it auto-formatted into the code style that everyone can easily interpret.

You monster.

I actually winced

I hate it so much

That makes me physically uncomfortable. 😬
