Description
The most motivational code you’ll ever compile.
This while (!(succeed=try())); shirt is pure programming poetry. It’s a working loop that says: “Keep trying until you succeed.” No inspirational poster with a sunset and cursive font. No cheesy “Never Give Up” slogan. Just clean, functional code that actually expresses determination in the most elegant way possible.
Let’s break down this beautiful piece of logic:
while (!(succeed=try()));
Translation for non-coders:
“While you haven’t succeeded (as determined by trying), keep trying.”
What’s actually happening:
Execute try() function
Assign result to succeed
Check if succeed is false (the ! negates it)
If false (haven’t succeeded yet), loop back and try again
If true (success!), exit loop
Repeat until victory
Time Complexity: O(however long it takes)
Space Complexity: Room for growth
Exit Condition: Success (eventually)
Recursion Depth: As deep as necessary
Stack Overflow Risk: Only if you give up
Made from soft, sustainable organic cotton for maximum comfort during debugging marathons, refactoring sessions, job searches, learning new frameworks, and life in general—because we’re all just executing this loop in different contexts.
Why This Code Hits Different:
This isn’t just a programming joke. This is a philosophy. It’s what every developer does daily:
Try to fix the bug → fail → try again
Try to pass the interview → fail → try again
Try to center a div → fail → try 47 more times
Try to make the client happy → fail → try different approach
Try to understand the legacy code → fail → try with more coffee
The beauty is in the simplicity. One line. No complex logic. No nested conditions. Just: keep trying until it works.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Will wearing this shirt make my code work?
A: No, but it’ll remind you to keep trying until it does.
Q: What if I’ve never coded in my life?
A: This loop applies to everything. Trying to learn guitar? Keep looping. Trying to bake the perfect sourdough? Keep looping. Life is just a series of while loops.
Q: Is the semicolon necessary?
A: In C-style languages, yes. In life, it represents the end of one attempt and the readiness for the next.
Q: What if I succeed on the first try?
A: Then the loop exits immediately. But let’s be honest, when does that ever happen?
Q: Can I wear this to a job interview?
A: Absolutely. It shows persistence, problem-solving skills, and that you understand code. Plus, if they don’t appreciate it, you don’t want to work there.
Q: Why is this more motivational than regular motivational quotes?
A: Because it’s functional. It’s not just words—it’s logic. It’s a provable algorithm for success.
Q: Does this work for non-programming challenges?
A: YES. Learning a language? Loop. Getting in shape? Loop. Dating? Loop (maybe take breaks though). Everything is just while(!succeed) { try(); }

Disclaimer: This shirt does not guarantee success, but it does guarantee you’ll look good while trying. Actual results depend on quality of your try() function implementation. Side effects include increased determination and decreased willingness to give up. The loop will continue until you succeed or run out of memory (don’t run out of memory). Not responsible for existential realizations about life being one giant while loop.
