I recently stumbled upon this screenshot while researching social media on the train. Of course, it was followed by a cascade of spiteful comments, criticizing this fresh programmer’s attempt to solve a classical problem in computer science. The modulus operation.
I think he was being sarcastic, playing with words. Meaning, that you trade in time, runtime and memory and get nothing in return :D so a pretty bad trade haha.
Of course it’s worse, I mean, that was the point of this blogpost, wasn’t it? :p It’s just a (long) joke.
On reread, you’re totally right. Went right over my head
