If you don't know, "code golf" is this nerd thing where you have to solve a given programming challenge using the least code possible. Solutions to these challenges can sometimes be sublimely brilliant. "Reverse code golf", then, would be about solving a problem in the most inefficient way possible. The joke, then, is "what if nerd reference, but backwards". COMEDY AU (THAT'S THE ATOMIC SYMBOL FOR GOLD)

A couple other things to note. First of all, this is nowhere near the most inefficient possible way to write Moby Dick. Second, this has already been done in actual code golf .
