As a programmer, I define PI to be 3.05 just to piss off everyone equally

I bet you call all of your variables x,y,z and w, and your function 'run', 'doProcess' and 'calculate' too, don't you, you monster!

No, but seriously, even thinking of defining PI as 3.05 is evil.

Yes except swap the function and variable names.

Ugh one of my Devs insisted on using single letter variables all over the place and it annoyed me no end.
