The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

Very interesting.
How did you discover this undocumented functionality?
I'm a hacker (the good kind) and I'm always curious about how people find the stuff that is hidden.

Also, I'm working on a ESP32 thing right now because you advised that it would be a good platform for my BLE work. It's going really well and I can't believe I've finally made a break-thru.

Anyways, while looking at a small ESP32 dev board at amazon, I stumbled upon this picture from amazon that is absolutely hilarious[^]. Can you advise on that use of the ESp32 with those tweezers? Laugh | :laugh: Laugh | :laugh:

I believe he is trying to dip his ESP32 switches into the main board which will surely create a new computing platform. Laugh | :laugh: Laugh | :laugh:
