If you ever feel that you have a shitty job just remember that there is a programming language called Brainfuck and at least once in time it was someone's job to debug a real program written in Brainfuck. For context, this is a 'Hello World' program in Brainfuck:

++++++++[>++++[>++>+++>+++>+<<<<-]>+>+>->>+[<]<-]>>.>---.+++++++..+++.>>.<-.<.+++.------.--------.>>+.>++.

And here is the same program in the Python programming language:

print('Hello World')

undefined

    They would only debug it if they wanted to or it was a challenge. I don't know of anyone that would use an esoteric language like BF for anything serious. Not sure you could.

    @JammehCow I was just saying if there ever was a job that involved debugging BF that job would trump every other as the shittiest.

    @bb6xt well I certainly agree with that. Luckily that's not a reality.

    This is my first time encountering brainfuck. My reaction is along the lines of:
    I...Wai..What does it..I..But...What the fuck is this?

    The syntax is actually pretty simple - only eight commands!

    I encourage people to try writing in it, it's quite fun if you like brainteasers.
