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.

It remind me when I wrote
C#
static bool Is<T>(this T obj);

with reflection...

Then a friend of mind said : WTF have you written that ? instead of "obj is T".
The worse of it is that I had no idea why I did something so stupid... wanted to blame somebody else, but the source control history pointed at me. Big Grin | :-D
