Most pissed off you've ever been at work?
Week 71 Group Rant

When your project partner is an absolute coding genius.

But writes spaghetti code with methods named function1, function2, ... function20.

How the fk am I supposed to read that code?!?!?!

But I’ll give him credit, the program is works and is amazing. It’s just not possible for anybody other than him to understand.

    If he cannot write readable code he's not a coding genius

    @daveit agree and disagree. He could be one of those misinformed "make sure you're the only one who can do your job" types. Or genius programmer but not coder. Depends on your definitions.

    @projektaquarius

    Oxford dictionary on code:

    Convert (the words of a message) into a code so as to convey a secret meaning.

    So with this definition he is definitely a genius :D

    @deus cleaning and reformatting code that's hard to understand is like a full time job lol my coworker is very similar. Smart guy, but really overcomplicates algorithms and concepts. Also, writes spaghetti code with 2 letter variable names.

    If it was hard to write, it should be hard to read 😂 said some wise retard.

    Yeah, I won’t even touch that repo now. No way I’m going through that 2k line java spaghetti codebase
