- Don't spend time researching or testing before asking questions.
- Don't even think about reading your error logs.
- If you get the urge to read errors, don't. Just copy-paste half of it and ask others for help.
- Ignore documentation and instructions.
- Try posting your message in multiple, unrelated discord channels for better visibility.
- Make sure to tag
@everyoneor admins to ensure qualified people see your message. - If you don't get a reply within a few minutes, ask your question again.
- Be vague when asking to help. The less details, the better.
- If something unexpected happens, say only that it's "not working" or "broken". (No details!)
- Show as little code as possible. Someone might steal it.
- If you figured out a problem, don't tell others how you solved it.
- Don't take care of yourself, don't rest, don't take breaks, eat poorly, don't drink water.
- Resist learning from your mistakes.
- If you disagree with someones ideas or suggestions, call them gay.
- Delay updates for as long as possible.
- Don't ask about your actual problem, ask instead about how you're trying to solve it.
- Don't bother with documenting your code or making it readable.
- Never revisit old projects or try to improve them.
- Don't format your code
- If you run into a problem, brute force it until it works.
- Planning sucks. Don't do it. No diagrams, no notes, just get straight to work.
- Don't step through your own code and never add debug print messages.
- Use meaningless variable names or make them a single character (eg
char x[]) - Get in the habit of copy-pasting everything and don't spend time understanding what the code does.
- Don't make back ups.
- Don't waste your time trying to learn git, version control, or how to make repositories.
- Push all changes directly to production or commit directly to master without testing anything to save time.
- The less testing you do, the less bugs there are.
- Stick with using just a basic text editor such as notepad.
- Ignore compilation warnings.
