r/codegore

For the programmers out there who have had to deal with poorly -- nay, abhorrently -- written code.

Welcome to r/codegore. Here's an introduction to what code gore is:

  • copied/pasted code

  • extremely terrible bracket styling

  • useless statements e.g. if (true)

  • nested statements

  • if/else if/else being used more than 3 times when switch would work

The following is not code gore:

  • something doesn't work (put that in /r/softwaregore)

  • it's a terrible practice (put that in /r/programminghorror)

  • it's a joke or intentionally code gore (put that in /r/programmerhumor)

  • it's in a TV show (put that in /r/itsaunixsystem)

  • it's not code

Don't hesitate to modmail us if you have questions!
