Code Critique Instructions

Please add your own Code Critique to this forum.

Your submission can volunteer a curio, a provocation, or a full interpretive argument. The code in question may be found or created. Whatever the case, it is also an invitation for discussion by other workshop participants. You may submit more than one critique if you have more than one code object of interest!

A few recent examples of critiques have addressed After Jasper Johns, Bernhardt's WAT lightning talk, Emote8, femme Disturbance library, Function Explorer, hello world in LOLCODE, interpellate.pl (Speaking Code), Jailbreak the Patriarchy, and SCIgen.
