@Economic_Hitman hmmmm I don't know anything about foos or bars, at least as relates to code lol
@CSB @Economic_Hitman it takes a village to train a coder!
A true Chad 🇹🇩 replaces them with the names of admirals of the Reich.

@leyonhjelm @CSB @Economic_Hitman my heil just isn't that ziggy tbh
@CSB @SirSpencer @Economic_Hitman Military acronym FUBAR; Fucked Up Beyond All Repair. In the 80's on the Commodore 64 there as a pirate import/crack group called FBR; Fucked Beyond Repair.
@blitzed @SirSpencer @Economic_Hitman yes and no
as "foobar" is spelled differently than FUBAR and "foo" and "bar" are used separately as variable name
but generally: yes, that's the origin
@blitzed
I've always remembered it as Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition, no idea what's canonical
@CSB @SirSpencer @Economic_Hitman

@SirSpencer @Economic_Hitman
