There is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution
I always say I write throwaway code that never dies. I shutter to think how many pieces of code I wrote 10+ years ago are still buried deep in systems running today. Shutter.
I think you mean shudder. Unless the code you wrote is running on cameras.
I really think that optimization courses should have a special lecture in the optimization of optimization…
I have a mental image of 50+ lines that could be replaced with 15 if someone just used a loop.
hey depending on the code, it could run faster without the loop
It is always the worst code you wrote that survives. There’s a terrible university dorm management software I wrote eight years ago as a student. They still use it. The crazy complicated test framework wrappers for some hardware I wrote five years ago. They still use it. The godawful and crazy complicated communication protocol I whipped up four years ago, still used in medical equipment today.
The crappy scripts that I wrote while teaching myself to code at an electrical engineering / architecture firm are used more often than the professional software I’ve built for FAANG and Fortune 500 companies since.
oof, this comic hurts so bad it’s funny.
The most permanent solution is jank that works.
