    “Maintainable code and common patterns? But I prefer code-golfing my if-statements into one, long sequence of characters.” -coworker standing atop the Dunning-Kruger peak

      Pffft. I write everything as a one liner in notepad and just copy and paste into a compiler.

      Note: Sarcasm. I’m not a dev, I just script shit for my own convenience at work. I’m the guy the idiots talk to first. After 12 years I’m pretty good at filtering out the bullshit and giving a concise ticket to escalate in the event I don’t have permissions to fix something.

      I have fixed code before, but its been very rare, and was most certainly a case of the actual dev not seeing the forest due to the trees. It just happened I had the cube next to him and he wanted any other set of eyes, lol. I just happened to have some education in various languages that I opted not to pursue further.
