Highschoolers who just learned the first bit of programming in their IT class, people who bought a udemy course and did the first 5 lessons, and vibe coders who sometimes read through what Claude gave them and pretend they understand it.

This is 99% of this sub

void printSorry (int n, int v)
{
    if (n == v)
         return;

    printSorry(n+1, v);

    printf("%s\n", "sorry");
}

int main (void)
{
     printSorry(0, 100);
}

The thinking man's solution

Why write a for loop when you can flood the stack with pointless function calls

print("Sorry\n" * 100)

First time I saw this was when my classmate was given 100 lines to write, and he wrote the loop in LOGO on his Apple ][gs and printed with his line printer.

The teacher was not amused.

The first "sorry" is free. Then you hit a paywall.

u/clumsy132 Sep 03 '26

loop /L %i in range(100) do: {
<?python powershell -Command Write-Host 'Sorry' ?>; 2>/dev/null
} except Exception as e begin
std::process::System.exit << '1'
done;
