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.

VB kind of forced all of us to a number of little implementation horrors, what with fake OOP and all. Big Grin | :-D

I had my share of VB back in the day, and I'm happy it's over! When I have to maintain some of my old code from the 90's I still shiver at some horrors I see. It sure was partly my fault, but I'm convinced VB did its part.

We will probably enter yet another phylosophical/religious debate if we start arguing about goods and bads in old VB, but I think (hope) everybody will agree that even if it did have a sense in its day, it was just EVIL. Poke tongue | ;-P

2+2=5 for very large amounts of 2
(always loved that one hehe!)
