How do I create an unreadable code?
Generally, code obfuscators make your code unreadable by replacing meaningful variables names with things like $a , $b , etc., and by removing comments, whitespace, and whatever other conveniences we normally use to make code readable.
How do you write unmaintainable?
How to write unmaintainable code
- Naming: use single-letters, typos and a baby name book.
- Coding style: obfuscate, ‘optimise’, avoid consistency.
- Code structure: copy-paste, break encapsulation, use global/static members, wrap unnecessarily.
- Documentation: lie, state the obvious, leave placeholders.
Why writing code is so hard?
Coding is thought to be hard because it’s a different type of skill; and “different” in the sense that it’s unlike anything most of us have ever experienced before. You might know about the different kids coding languages, and what code looks like, etc., but the other 90\% is very different.
How do you write a completely unmaintainable code?
How do you choose variable names?
The variable name must describe the information represented by the variable. A variable name should tell you concisely in words what the variable stands for. Your code will be read more times than it is written. Prioritize how easy your code is to read over than how quick it is to write.
Do you think programmers over-complicate their code?
1. Yes, I think sometimes. 2. Yes, at least some programmers at least some of the time over-complicate their code, at least some of the times intentionally. 3. Cases closed.
What do you think a good programmer avoids?
I think that a good programmer avoids overly complicated code. This includes avoiding the temptation to force a design pattern to fit into a solution that doesn’t really require it. It also includes avoiding God-objects, magic buttons, premature optimization, premature generalization, and other anti-patterns.
What are some common reasons why programming languages get so complicated?
It might only be a small piece of duplication or tacking another flag argument onto a method but it all adds up. Effectively, hacks are added and it doesn’t take long for everything to get over-complicated due to all the code smells. This is the most common and usually just due to not knowing better or time pressure.
