Linux Network Stack Code

If you want to feel better about your code, just take a look at the Linux network stack / include / linux / netdevice.h 1698 /** * struct net_device - The DEVICE structure. * * Actually, this whole structure is a big mistake. It mixes I/O * data with strictly "high-level data", and it has to know about * almost every data structure used in the INET module.

A screenshot shows the caption “If you want to feel better about your code, just take a look at the Linux network stack” above a code excerpt from Linux’s netdevice.h file. The joke is that seeing notoriously complicated or messy low-level code makes the viewer feel better about their own programming. It is used as a humorous reaction to reassure someone whose code feels imperfect.
