🎉 Want to learn programming principles in a way you’ll never forget?

There’s a free eBook called “Naughty Words Every Programmer Should Know” that repackages the most overused (and abused) software development principles as unforgettable acronyms — with humor and zero corporate polish.

📘 Available for free as PDF and ePub directly on GitHub.


🔑 What’s inside?
#

🚫 No-BS explanations of real engineering principles ⚔️ War stories from actual projects (the kind you don’t hear at conferences) 🧠 Honest takes on why some “best practices” quietly destroy codebases 🛠️ Practical advice for writing software that survives contact with reality


💡 In a nutshell
#

In programming, there are many well-known principles like SOLID, DRY (“Don’t Repeat Yourself”), and KISS (“Keep It Simple, Stupid”). This book takes that idea to the extreme, wrapping important concepts in funny, slightly NSFW acronyms to make them stick. It’s great for beginners who want to absorb best practices in a memorable way, and for experienced developers who need a good laugh at the industry’s expense.


⚠️ Warning: contains strong language, stronger opinions, and a high chance of spontaneous nodding across your dev team.
