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.

It gets better: This app was handed to me, so I can fix all kinds of weird and non-consistent errors that were happening all the time. The vb app was created by a contractor ($100/hr) who converted it from a Microsoft Access database that was developed by another consultant over a span of a year and a half for which she was paid in excess of $200k. Until this day, I cannot believe what I saw and comprehend how a consultant can get paid that much money for creating an Access database using textboxes as boolean variables and for another contractor to convert the code and not realize the insanity of that code either. And there was me, making just little over $50k at the time...disgusting isn't it
