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.

Ah, but we DID have an excellent high school teacher. He is still one of my favorite teachers/professors of all time. He was always doing his best to solve people's programming "mistakes" and send them in the right direction.

We also had a set of TAs that would help the class learn and code, and they were really helpful. Alas, all the "good" programmers also became TAs by sheer force and there was little you could do to avoid being asked for help five times per class *laughs*

In the end, however, some people are beyond hopeless for becoming programmers and should quit while they're not too far behind. I see bad examples of programmers even in college as a Junior (now almost a Senior). I'm amazed how some people made it this far! Laugh | :laugh:
