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.

Well, when I write code, I write it so it doesn't have to be debugged(almostSmile | :) . Only thing that can go wrong here, would be that the database connection is down, or some sore of foreign key exception. It would result in an exception(with a nice description), but that's a whole different story.

My point is, that I would always rather write(and debug) 2 lines of code, than 22, no mather how complicated they may be...but that's just me...
