Python is a beautiful and powerful language, but let’s be honest, who has time to learn best practices? In this tutorial, we’ll teach you how to write terrible Python code that will leave your coworkers shaking their heads in disbelief. 😜

Never Comment Your Code 🤔

Comments are for people who can’t figure out what your code is doing on their own, right? That’s why you should never add any comments to your code. By not adding comments, you’re challenging your coworkers to use their brains to understand your code. Your code should be a puzzle that only the truly brilliant can solve. 😎

And even if your coworkers can’t understand your code, that’s okay. That just means that you’re smarter than they are. Your job is to impress, not to make their lives easier.

Use One-Liners as Much as Possible 😎

Why use five lines of code when you can do it in one? One-liners are the way to go. It’s not like anyone else will ever need to read or modify your code, so why make it easy on them?

Plus, your code will look way cooler when you can brag about how short it is. And let’s be honest, isn’t looking cool more important than readability and maintainability? 😉

Ignore Variable Naming Conventions 😂

Who needs PEP 8? It’s not like anyone will know what your variables mean anyway. Just use whatever names you feel like. Bonus points if you use single-letter variable names. That way, no one will ever be able to figure out what the heck is going on in your code. 🤪

And don’t worry about using meaningful names for your functions or classes either. Just use whatever comes to mind first. After all, your code is a reflection of your creativity, so why limit yourself to conventions?

Don’t Bother With Error Handling 😅

Errors are just part of the coding experience, right? If something goes wrong, just let the program crash. It’s not like anyone else will ever need to run your code.

Your coworkers will appreciate the added excitement of trying to debug your code. And who knows, maybe they’ll even learn something in the process. After all, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right?

Reinvent the Wheel 🤓

Why use built-in functions when you can write your own? Reinventing the wheel is a great way to show off your coding skills and make your coworkers wonder why they ever hired you.

Sure, it might take longer to write and be less efficient, but at least you’ll feel good about yourself. And isn’t that what really matters?

Conclusion 🌟

Congratulations, now you know how to write awful Python code! But seriously, don’t do any of these things. Writing clear, maintainable, and well-documented code will not only make your coworkers’ lives easier, but it will also make you a better programmer in the long run. 😉

Remember, the goal of coding is not to show off your skills, but to create solutions that are easy to use and understand. Be kind to your future self and your coworkers and write good code.
