Ask HN: What single line of code would you put on a programming shirt?

12 points by codingclaws ↗ HN
If you were going to make a programming shirt with one line of code or one expression on the front of the shirt right in the middle what would it be? Examples:

(+ 1 2)

or

++i;

or

x ? x : y

Is that a shell script? Doesn’t seem to do anything on my linux server.

Haven't seen this in a while;

There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who do not.

I’d put $year: ERR_REQUIRE_ESM require of ES module strip-ansi not supported, cause people should know that it’s 202x and we are still practically almost already there.

If the footwear was appropriate, you could say something like:

>BOOT DEVICE NOT FOUND;

>FALLING BACK TO SNEAKERNET . . .

    import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
Or as one of these 'modern' 'linters' like to 'fix' it to:

    import pdb
    
    
    pdb.set_trace()

I second your annoyance with linters doing that.

You can add #noqa at the end of the line to avoid the linter rewrite.
