There also isn't a comment on every line, no test coverage that I can see, many functions are longer than 20 lines, and many of these source files are way too big at thousands of lines.
Probably easier to throw the whole thing out and start again.
- rmbyrro 5y agoAt first I thought you were joking, but perhaps you were serious about it? I can't tell and I'm literally LOL right now because of that
- rmbyrro 5y agoNo, it must be a joke. > There also isn't a comment on every line This must be a joke LOL Why are folks downvoting?
- Jtsummers 5y agoBecause of Poe's Law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law): > Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won't mistake for the genuine article. (the original phrasing) But it works for other things as well. When a position is known to be, or believed to be, accepted by a significant number of people, and someone expresses that position, without knowing them it's impossible to tell if it's sarcastic or sincere. Even if it's presented in a somewhat exaggerated form, there are people would still hold some of the views the GP expresses.
- rcoveson 5y ago> there are people would still hold some of the views the GP expresses. "People"? Try 100% of (good) CS professors. Research clearly dictates that gotos are harmful. Lack of comments is just as bad. As for the test coverage, that's just their loss. I'm sure this "linux" project would have much higher velocity (agile term, look it up) if they used test driven development.
- rmbyrro 5y agoVery interesting, this is indeed real. I'll be a more careful joker now, thanks :D
- nieve 5y agoPossibly because they're dragging the joke out way past where it might be amusing.
