How to Drive a Developer Crazy

  • Ignore all syntax and whitespace conventions, invent your own instead.
  • Commit code without reviewing your own diffs for errors and consistency.
  • Commit code to source control with meaningless messages.
  • Use meaningless names for variables, functions, classes, etc., that only mean something to you.
  • Create large functions which take up many, many lines of code, possibly even pages.
  • Don't use project libraries or components, but invent your own to keep things un-DRY and inconsistent as possible.
