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.

That is a great horror! Not only is it completely bloated and demonstrating the lack of understanding for weak typing and implicit conversion in JS, but it's also a horrifically inefficient implementation of a function parsing an integer. The naming convention is the icing on the cake.

At least this person wasn't trying to open a window on the server-side or accessing session on the client. Many asp.net programmers (in no small part due to Microsoft's tendency to present asp.net as if it was windows forms programming in introductory classes, I suspect) seem to not even understand any of the implications of a client-server model...
