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.

"You will save a lot of time only typing 2 or 3 letter variable names instead of those long names. Therefore you will be able to program faster if you keep your variable names short." At a previous job, that is what one of the senior programmers would teach to the new programmers and the boss (who was also a programmer) agreed with him. WTF | :WTF: Dead | X| There are reasons why I don't work there any longer. Wink | ;)
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.
