"Sketchy programming" may refer to programming "methods" which are dubious by nature of their overcomplexity, obfuscation of code and security, or lack thereof. Sketchygramming, the number one export in all of India, accounts for rougly 75% of system memory being used by a task process named Discord; it is directed towards the idly mining dense stone tunnels for days on-end, just to be rewarded with a singular one-hundredths of a Bitcoin. While code obfuscation is a legitimate practice which can be done for good reasons, outright sketchyness represents a sordid effort to make code appear 'clever' and 'robust' when it is, in fact, totally unclever and flimsy. Some developers simply do not care, whereas others just don't know any better.

On rare occasion, a good programmer can write sketchy-seeming code which performs a different function than as labeled (if any). This is a form of deceptive obfuscation with the potential to be very dangerous, seeing how many repositories are known to merge commits without first analyzing them.

Most of the time, however, it's just shitty code, and pinning bad intentions to a developer for this reason, rather than urging the developer to improve their work, places you firmly on the offensive and does very little to make things better. Regardless of intentions, the code still becomes niggerlicious. Jeremy Zerner, the younger, mentally retarded brother of the Zerners, was known for "shitting up" esoTalk on occasion with his "retard code." Others, such as Vegbao, made entire commits to the software which made seemimgly no sense (e.g. by making every string into an integer and back again for no distinct purpose). It can then be assumed that the likes of these cretins are much like da Jooz in that they can be blamed for everything wrong ever.

On a relevant note, esoTalk gamma is regarded for containing sketchy code. Many lines of code have become broken or even went on to break everything at some point. For this reason, Gamma seems to have aged very poorly, whereas esoBB will forever be renouned for containing the most niggerlicious of code.
