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.

The 1970's called, they want their developer back Wink | ;-)

 

If people rarely keep comments in sync with the code, the chance of them keeping separate technical documents is almost nil.

This calls for JavaDoc!
Excuse me for my improper grammar and typos.
It's because English is my primary language, not my first language.

My first languages are C# and Java.
VB, ASP, JS, PHP and SQL are my second language.
Indonesian came as my third language.
My fourth language? I'm still creating it, I'll let you know when it's done! Big Grin | :-D
