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.

C&P is so called static modelling, where programmer runs the program (not the computer), evaluate the exit and then write exactly what he done in his head in code, so computer can repeat it. Ironic thing is that computer is made for automation and actually it is his job to do the repetitive stuff while human neural network (called brain) is very good in finding and giving short description of repetitive stuffs.

So apparently some brains are better than others.
