      Typical boring useless shit code. Using bad variable names, and in the end you just say “look, I can count to 10”.

      Before sorting: 8 6 1 10 5 9 3 2 4 7 Does it have a meaning? I don’t think so.

      Oof, this would genuinely make me like someone less. Like, it’s great that you like nerd stuff but that’s just bullshit…

        So much “nerd” paraphernalia is BS… This one is ridiculous (one doesn’t get to “be a programmer” by sorting and collecting 10 personality traits as if they’re goals or achievements) but at least it shows varied syntax in the C language: the number of unique keywords is very high.

        To show you’re a nerd, don’t go with obvious “look, this is what I am” but use dogwhistles (Conway’s Game of Life or fractals can look like knitting patterns) or to be obvious, some things you personally like or made. Badge with your distro’s logo or mascot, code you actually wrote or its output, wearable blinkenlights project… Just be more focused on your interests than yourself.
