There's a lot of comments here about the style the code was written in. Is it really difficult for people to read through code with joke comments/variable names? I've run across this level of sarcasm since I first started programming and was going through code that was already years old with code like
Catch(Exception up)
{
throw up; //lol
}
I thought this was a long running and common behavior for software engineers when they were making projects for themselves instead of work

Then again I've noticed I reserve my jackassery for mock test data, even in private repositories, so who knows?
- jacquesm 8y agoIf that's the worst... I would have to really sanitize some of my code before it could see the light of day with my reputation in one piece. A one liner joke in the name of an exception would be the least of my worries.

- lainproliant 8y agoThis is common and should be encouraged. If we can't have a little fun while programming, then what the hell are we doing with our lives?
