What's hilarious is that competent programmers, as well as people studying programming for the very first time, know that all code you write after about 4 hours is garbage. Totally useless, none of it worth salvaging.
Actual programmers hear "I coded for 36 hours" and hear "I gooned for 36 hours"

Why fan solidarity could be the WNBA players’ secret weapon in their CBA negotiations:
