minus-squaredrspodlinkfedilinkarrow-up23arrow-down2·edit-21 个月前 “Every line of code is written without reason, maintained out of weakness, and deleted by chance” Jean-Paul Sartre’s Programming in ANSI C Is this a joke or an AI hallucination? I’m pretty sure Sartre never wrote about programming in ANSI C. There is a book called “Programming in ANSI C” by E. Balagurusamy I can only find other references to this quote from sites that are linking this article. The article actually does date back to 2016 so it’s not AI generated.
