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.

First, thank you for your constructive input! I really appreciate it! Smile | :)

..but no. Just naming it won't trigger that.

and yet, it does...consistently. Changing the filename changes the behavior.

Second, regarding changing a filename, I never said it was expensive however to a developer (me) it does cost time and requires some planning to make it a seamless transition for my customers.

Third, your unfounded insult means nothing to me. My colleagues and paying clients would disagree with you. Smile | :)

Fourth, I might be hiring for a jr. position. Are you available?
