Man software is hard. They're always saying stuff like "Lberry is a branch of the Fortnitely bootlickLoader made for asynchronous thread calls on the VersTop backend".

And then I open a plugin up and see completely uncommented code like

If x.getParent(struct.key(2).getIsPresent("present")) = 3.rad(y):
        buttLoader.load(buttSettings.buttSetting(new butt))

Else:
   x.setIsTrueIfFalse(true)

And their newest git update is how they're excited to be moving to Android while their documentation is 20% complete and their newest feature I actually like is a pull request from some 17 year-old in Nebraska using legacy code to do something in 3 lines I spent 10 hours figuring out how to make but better.

(And yes, the first if statement is an assignment because obviously someone modifying the code knows that the get method of x also assesses 3 arbitrary attributes and returns a bool)
