"Warning: This code is fucking awful.

Do not expect the code to be stable under any modifications, but you can try if you want I guess. Also there are barely any comments sorry. I am in Electrical Engineering and I like writing shitty code to piss off my Computer Science friends."

I appreciate this README's sense of humor



The fact that he released it is awesome. So many people never released their code because "it's not ready" or "I want to clean it up" or whatever.

Fucking awful barely-functioning open source code is better than no code available, every time.


lol, "Run the .py file with the highest number, because I can't figure out version control." Says the guy who posted it to github.


You can upload files to github with drag and drop. They are not mutually exclusive.


GitHub becoming Pastebin would be a hilarious turn of events.


It's kinda close already. I've gotten several pdfs of books by cloning repos.


My father (quantum mechanics) would sometimes submit awful but working code to Dijkstra without proofs just to piss him off. Dijkstra didn't like the looseness of the physics students when it came to software development, while physics students didn't like the software proofs for things in physics that were experimental and needed a 'quick' (nothing was 'quick' then compared to now of course) set of calculations/simulations and not waste time on writing formal proofs for them.


I can relate to this!
