DARE Programme

DARE (Drug - Abuse - Resistance - Education)

some dumb programme telling kiddos not to do drugs and Marijuana. also, it says to be nice to people or else they'll secretly hate you. also no bulling.

Actually, Marijuana kills absolutely no one. I mean, that doesn't mean it perfectly safe. smoking weed under the age of 25 can lead to memory problems and stoof. if your an adult, it's really your choice.

Bulling is bad tho, don't do.
don't do drugs kiddo... or you'll DIE!!!

faith based programming

Faith based programming is what happens when a programmer isn't smart or capable enough of writing good code that they pray whatever they did actually works. In early years, programmers would put a lot of debug statements, no-op loops, etc in code that somehow created the magic timing for it to work.
Programmer 1: Did you ever fix that bug we talked about yesterday?

Programmer 2: Ya, well sort of. I just added a few debug statements and it went away

Programmer 1: Oh, I get it, you are doing a little Faith Based Programming?

Programmer 2: Yep, even though I can't see it, I believe the problem has somehow gone away...
