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.

Hey, I didn't spend much time on it in actual development... But it's an interesting discussion point, in case next time a similar situation pops up, it actually IS important.

I have another routine in a related class that actually handles the routing of messages to/from the different clients and server-side workers... That one sometimes processes 200-300 messages a second (Update notifications and logs, mostly). If that one was doing any sort of casting, something like this might be significant.

So sure, shaving a couple cycles in this particular block of code is insignificant, but it's something to know for the future.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?
