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.

From my experience, combining the smallest atomic parts together to create another simple atomic part is simply part of good system design. I've encountered HUGE function classes which have masses of dependancies on other stuff and it's a complete nightmare to figure out.

At least with lots of small components you can black box at each level and the whole system becomes that much simpler to comprehend.
