A satirical guide on how to write unmaintainable code, adapted from Roedy Green's infamous essay. It humorously catalogs anti-patterns and bad practices to teach developers what to avoid.
Use cases
- learn what coding practices make code hard to maintain
- find examples of anti-patterns to avoid in code reviews
- share a humorous take on bad programming habits with a team
- teach junior developers about naming and convention pitfalls
- understand why conventions matter in software maintenance
When to choose
- you want a humorous but educational resource on code maintainability
- you are teaching or onboarding developers about anti-patterns
- you need examples of deliberately bad practices to contrast with good ones
When to avoid
- you need actionable tooling or linters to enforce code quality
- you want a serious, formal software engineering textbook
- you need language-specific style guides with concrete rules
