The /prog/matic programmer

ANyways, so... I was reading The Pragmatic Programmer [1] and it occurred to me that we should probably boil these principles down for the novices amongst us. ITT things you want to carve into your colleagues' faces.

* KEEP IT FUCKING SIMPLE, MOTHERFUCKER!
* You're code is not ``clever'', it is autistic.
* Code is /not/ poetry or art. Go away! Fuck your OCD.
* This shit has been solved a thousand times over.
* You do not need to design with the latest and greatest in gang-of-four approved OOP design patterns, using infinitely scalable NoSQL solutions in hip new languages that compile down to JavaScript (srsly WTF?!), just to create a CRUD application.
* Not everyone gets off on code, some of us just want to make a living doing the least amount of effort that is required to deliver a consistent quality for an extended period of time.

I swear by god if I see one more AbstractControllerFactoryInterface

An idea: most of these C solutions don't work for the (2³¹−1)^th line number. Maybe Cudder is hinting at something like this, with the whole "problem space" thing:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    unsigned int i = 0;
    int c;
    while (EOF != (c = getchar())) {
        if (i == 0xffffffffUL)
            printf("4294967296 ");
        else
            printf("%u ", ++i);
        do {
            putchar(c);
        } while ((c != '\n') && (EOF != (c = getchar())));
    }
    return 0;
}

^{PS: The only reason anyone is having trouble solving this is because you're shit at explaining the problem. There's no reason to act smug about this, and you should really cut it out.}
