Guide to writing bad code.

Introduction

Writing bad code is something every programming does in some point in time. This guide will teach you how to write worse code.

To annoy people because it is fun
So no one will copy your code, because they cannot, and even if they do they learn nothing
Sometimes type less and use less time
Looks cool :)
If you are a good person, then do the opposite and write good code

The first way I want to introduce is to name variables terribly. There is a few way to do this.

Examples:
Do:

let c = 0;
let t = 1;

Don't:

let counter = 0;
let temporary = 1;

You can also use numbers for repeated names:

let c1 = 0;
let c2 = 1;
let c3 = 2;

Use all lowercase letters to connect different words:

let thisisalongvariablenamemeshedtogetherbecausewhynot = 1;

Use x, y, z for loop variables, and never use something that makes sense:

let a = [1,2,3];
a.forEach(x=>{
  for (let y=0; y<x; y++) {
    console.log(x+y)
  }
})

Examples:
Do:

let a = [1,2,3]
let t = a.filter(x=>x%2==1).map(x=>x*2).slice(0,1)

Don't:

let a = [1,2,3]
let t = a.filter(x=>x%2==1)
t = t.map(x=>x*2)
t = t.slice(0,1)

Examples:

let c1 = 0, c2 = 0, c3 = 0;

Do it as bizarrely and weirdly as you want.
Example:

function       mf(a1       , a2      )      {
                  console.log(a1       + a2    )       ;
              }

let v = a>b?c:d

Don't:

if (apple>bear) {
  val = counter;
}
else {
  val = dogCount;
}

You can also chain it as confusing and long as you want (the more the better)

Following these steps can make your code worse. Good luck in annoying everyone.
