Clean Code or Shitposting

I can't distinguish 'clean code' from shitposting anymore. That's just 3 ifs. Don't you love #Rust? fn validate(&self) -> Result<()> { match ( self.recipe_template.contains(VAR_URL), self.recipe_template.contains(VAR_SHA), self.recipe_template.contains(VAR_VERSION), ) { (false, _, _) => bail!("missing URL variable"), (_, false, _) => bail!("missing SHA variable"), (_, _, false) => bail!("missing VERSION variable"), (_, _, _) => {} } Ok(()) }

A screenshot shows a humorous Rust code snippet using three if-like match conditions to validate missing variables. The joke is that the code is technically structured and idiomatic, yet absurdly overcomplicated for a simple check, making it hard to distinguish clean code from shitposting. It is shared as a reaction to overly elaborate programming, especially Rust code.
