What happened yesterday? Seems like nobody was able to post for hours (I know that I weren't)...
A hamster died and the rest had to go to the funeral?

After OG posted his famous 'Thought of the day', hamsters went crazy for 3+ hours... They tried to understand the phrase, but failed again and again...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Me too! IIRC mine was "something something busty in your town", you're referring to the same e-mail, right?

No, they esplicitly forbade me to even think of them - I'm troublesome enough without aids.

Now that's really a Leslie. Dead and loving it, so to say.
Still, that's only part of the story. It gets really interesting when the WTFs stop and are replaced by 'If I ever meet the idiot who...".

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

I had to test, fix and benchmark about 8kloc of "highly optimized" (teorically, in practice most of the time it wasn't performant) Assembly code (IA32 with full support to SSE up to SSSE3) which was both uncommented and undocumented, written by a guy who resigned years earlier.
That sentence was repeated quite often...

How does the sentence usually end?
I usually would like to tar and feather him, throw him out of the guild and then out of the city.
Guards!

... and have a nice long chat with hims as it must be enlightening to speak with such an obviously alien mind. While beating him to death with a pillow or similar soft implement (it is slow enough to be satisfying).

Especially in my case, where it often turns out that it was the guy in the mirror.

Johnny posted the same below. I just give you the same answer:
We all learn and we are always smarter afterwards. That's not what I meant. To get me that angry, someone must have done something that borders on sabotage. Something that's obviously a very bad idea and is so deeply embedded in the program that simple refactoring will not help to get rid of it.

Sure, but something in our own code that later embarrasses us for its dumbnicity, when we've learned more, it'll royally p1ss off anyone who's already got that "extra" knowledge.

I would never dare say that, because with my poor memory, chances are that it's me!

About 100 years ago (Ok maybe not that long ago, but pre-WinNT!) we had to use a pre-processor in our build cycle for some weird and wonderful 3rd party add-on SQL-like tool. A bug in said pre-processor meant that certain header files had to have a blank line at the top or the first line of actual code got mangled.
After the 6th or 7th time of fixing the problem because someone had "tidied up" the whitespace in the file I added a comment:
I did actually get a phone call many years later (and after I had left that company) to be asked if it still applied!

Did you have to go there again and do it?

Um. Is a pre-processor a framework?

No. A paradigm and also one of the black centipedes that have been soldered to one of those green thingies in the computer.
