− | + | This comic is a reference to the [[:Category:Code Quality|Code Quality]] series. Ponytail is excited to hear that Cueball has automated some feature, until she remembers that ''Cueball'' wrote it. In programming, automation is the technique, method, or system of operating or controlling a process by highly automatic means, as by electronic devices, reducing human intervention to a minimum (Dictionary.com). For example, one may automate the full screen disabling after a video ends its playback. The remaining panels and title text compare Cueball's code to a dead body. Cueball's "wait a few weeks until it becomes a problem" line refers to the fact that programs get increasingly complicated, chaotic and may become dirty code (code that isn't properly refactored, organized and cleaned) after a long period of development, similar to how a dead body becomes stinky after a few weeks. | |
