I go to a "hipster" barber in Europe, and they always seem to put stuff in a few areas of the hair to make it go in a certain direction. It's pretty cool until I let it grow out by not getting the next cut for 6-8 months.

6-8 months? 
I'm trying to work out the last time I had a hair cut, and the closest I can get is ... um ... "probably last century". The advantages of a ponytail!

Nope, I can tell you, and be reasonably accurate about it: Friday, 10 March 1989, at 21:30 (give or take ten minutes). Location: 51.097775, -0.849655[^]
My head was shaved for the second Comic Relief Day: the first raised £11 at my local pub, so I (foolishly and drunkenly) said that if they raised £500 for the second one, they could shave my head. The landlord chipped in the last £20 to get it over, the b*st*ard!
So on a busy Friday night the band was stopped, and my phair, beard and even eyebrows went.
Mind you ... I got a lot of free beer that night ...

Yes orderd something from them... Asked to send ot to my postal address which is *not* my home address...
In midday - when most peple at work - one calls me that he is in town but has a PO Box and wants to know the address...
And now we start to dance to find a delivery point (the post office out of question as it would cost money and my home address terrifies one), and that means delay and me to drive to that point...
Fortunately I'm not in rush to get it... But still interesting what Amazon requires from the delivery company and why not work with local postal service (too)?

Although USP, FedEx and others for the final delivery, only (US) mail is allowed to be sent to a PO Box.
Now I'm not sure if this has changed in any way with USPS making the final delivery.

People at my work have personal things delivered here to the office if they don't want it delivered at home. Either for security reasons or to maintain surprises from family members. Is that not an option for you?

I used it for smaller items, but this one is a bit larger to carry with me on bus (I do not like to drive into town for work because of the have traffic)..
What is my problem that Amazon accepts P.O. Box, but do not check if the delivery company does deliver there...
If it was stated in Amazon that way I would think of other addresses...

Hey, I've been fighting for three days with a company who refuses to send me my order because the Post Office (or at least the mechanism used to check with them) says my ZIP code is invalid.
It's not, of course. I get mail all the time, from all sorts of people.
I think the next step will be sending them photos of the mail I already get, with the ZIP code prominently displayed.

I almost as a matter of course involve code generation in my larger projects.
So that means I'm dealing with a lot of generated code.
Typically, I don't design my generated code for manual modification. I design the tool that generates it to be customizable. Ergo, the tool will make the code do what you want. Change the tool parameters to change the code but leave the code alone.
The reason being is it's almost always stupid to try to support generated code that a user has modified and for extremely complicated code, like parse tables, dfa tables, or business rule tables that have a lot of conditionals and branching.
So the code is a black box.
And because of *that* I throw a lot of traditional design assumptions out the window, or go meta with them.
Comments are an example: Commenting the generated code is pointless. Commenting the code that generates the code is project-critical
Constants are another example. It doesn't matter if you use hard coded values in your generated code if the values are const in the code that generates *it*. Generating private constants just adds to code size with not much upside. The exception is long constant strings.
And gotos are totally acceptable, especially in state machine code, and in the absence of cross language CodeDom loop break statements. (CodeDom only supports for() and no while() nor do while(), no break, no continue.
How many of you hate me for this, and who agrees with me here? 
I'm just curious.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I agree.
I insert a comment at the top:
/* This is a generated file, any modifications may be lost. */

|

absolutely. typically the CodeDomProvider framework will even generate one for you =)

So it's you who torments the rest of the world with half baked, unorthodox rule engines. Has any one of these ever worked to begin with or sucessfully survived all attempts to derail it by clueless bosses with ever crazier new rules? The next step then would be a half baked rule engine with also half baked modifications to the (unorthodox and uncommented) generated code, which of course may never be generated again.
Excellent. What a joy to see how the will to live is drained from those who have to maintain that thing, once Dr. Frankenfurter was done half baking his rule engine has left in search for new gullible victims. 
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

In my defense I've only ever made a rule engine that generated code once, and it was used for years, and it worked. You maintained the damn thing by maintaining the rule specs, not the code. The code generation could alter all three tiers (SQL schema, middleware XSD and code, and front end admin UI stuff (non admin pages were not generated because that's stupid in practice, but it *did* expose functionality to the front-end that the front end could use in the form of rule aware javascript and html widgets)
I generate mostly state machine code and things like parse tables. Those will always be incomprehensible and if you try to manually modify the state machine you deserve to be chased with a ball peen hammer.

I've just developed a little class to greatly abbreviate building CodeDOM trees. I'll probably publish a Tip & Trick on it once I've used it for what I'm using it for. I like to dogfood things before I post them if possible.

I concur - do what you like in generated code - it's generated, not for reading or modifying!
Just don't forget the big "Keep your stinking paws of this code you dirty ape!" notice at the top!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
