They’re also for kids

Gather ’round as I impart some wise thoughts:

When puppies do cute tricks, they receive adoration, awwwwwwwwwwws, and puppy treats for being cute and doing tricks.

When developers do cute tricks, they receives stabs in their faces and auras of anger for making it hell for whoever gets to maintain the fantastic pile of rat corpses that they coded.

In conclusion, tricks are for cute puppies, not developers.

    The standard line is that debugging is at least 2x as hard as coding, so you want to write braindead, unclever code if you are to have a hope in hell of making it work correctly.
