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 programmer has exactly 50 days left on his/her contract. Out door and wait for the frantic "It's broken call... please come fix it at 3x your previous rate!!!"

Just a guess. We had a bug tracking system written some time ago that had a primary record holder delared something like

DefectRecord Records[50];

Because he/she never thought anyone would have more than 50 defects to see at one time on a report. Guess they never ran into a project like the one I'm currently on.
