It was a satire. My go to formula is actually

    (A * B) / C + 2^D + (rand(4, -4) * E) / (0.5 * F)
[A] Time if I did it all by myself

[B] I have no idea what I'm doing ratio

[C] I totally have done this before

[D] Amount of weekly WTF per code review

[E] That stakeholder couldn't hold a stake

[F] Likely hood of it changing by next week
