12/52 No goto!
Garbage? Sorry, this one is for the programmers 🤓 no further explanation required. Or perhaps yes? So see the alt-text, please 😁

:nikon: :darktable:

Close-up of a computer screen. There is a dark themed code editor with some python code. The implementation indeed uses a 'goto' statement. Something that shall never be used, as jump-statements produce code that is hard to understand. Such code is also known as spaghetti code, a depiction of the code-mess comparable to a plate of spaghetti. Such 'goto' statement doesn't exist in Python. It was implemented as an April Fool's joke. In the code window, there is a reference to https://entrian.com/goto/ who released this in 2004. Next to the code editor window there is a browser window with ASCII art showing the face of Alfred E. Neuman, the mascot and cover boy of the American humor magazine "MAD".

@PaperG Alfred E. Neumann is great, but the goto code is worth a content warning! 😅

Oh, those were the days of glorious "goto" and "jmp" on the C64. 😉
