Terrible Use of Reduce Shirt Tri-Blend Tee

Terrible Use of Reduce Shirt Tri-Blend Tee

For the seasoned developers who’ve seen things—terrible, unholy things—done with JavaScript’s `reduce()` function. This t-shirt is a nod to those moments of over-engineering, clever one-liners, and the chaos that ensues when `reduce()` is used for tasks it was clearly never intended for. Because, let’s be honest, we’ve all encountered (or written) code where `reduce()` wasn’t just a tool—it was a weapon.

The tri-blend fabric creates a vintage, fitted look while remaining durable and comfortable. It’s perfect for sparking conversations (or debates) about functional programming, cleaner alternatives, and whether `reduce()` truly deserves the reputation it’s earned. Wear it proudly and let others know: you’ve survived the worst, and you still write clean code.

• Material: 50% polyester, 25% combed ring-spun cotton, 25% rayon.
• Fabric weight: 3.4 oz/yd² (115.3 g/m²).
• Fit: Regular fit, pre-shrunk for extra durability.
• Construction: Side-seamed for a premium feel.
• Sourcing: Blank product responsibly sourced from Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, or the US.

Why the Joke?
For the uninitiated, `reduce()` is an array method in JavaScript/TypeScript that condenses an array to a single value by applying a function. While incredibly powerful, it’s infamous for being misused in convoluted ways—like replacing simple operations (`map()`, `filter()`, etc.) with unreadable, logic-dense monstrosities. It’s a hallmark of over-engineering, often resulting in code that’s clever but not clean. This t-shirt is for those who’ve been there, seen it, and lived to tell the tale.
