Hehe... OK.
I thought I was another coding horror... you know, complete lack of testing.

Possibly a cut and paste job from the internet by someone not familiar with C#, .NET or programming in general.
Could well be a port out of C, C++ or VB6. Things like a private static method and module/global variables could be an artifact of another language.

If you are hyper-optimizing code, you can avoid allocation of an enumerator object by checking the count first if you expect that it will often contain 0 items. That said, it is obvious that this guy probably wouldn't know that, but worth noting. We've done it in very performance sensitive code that might be called many times in a tight loop.

Better to avoid foreach whenever possible. If there's a Count, it's probably indexable, so use for instead.
|

For performance sensitive code that could be used in long tight loops I agree, but "whenever" I don't agree with. In 95% of code it will make zero difference, so the readability and simplicity of foreach wins.

Oh, now I am reminded of some ODBC code (in ANSI C) I had thrust upon me in the late-90s -- query results were returned as CSV strings. 
I had to write my own version that at least returned sort of an array of strings.

Yesterday, I put in around 5 hours making changes on a form. This was done on a laptop having a synched drive to my home-office server where the development files are kept. I've learned with the laptop that it's actually safer to copy the project from the synched folder(s) and work on them locally, then manually replace the files when I get back to the office. Anyway, I opened the project from the local directory where I had copied it and spent the day putting in the new changes, and getting it all working. Hooray!
This morning, I got out the laptop and let it synch up to the network, then opened the local folder where I had done all my work, got the files I wanted, and replaced them on the network drive. It was then that I realized that the file dates/times were wrong...I had actually been working on the offline/synched files and had just overwritten 5 hours of work!  There seems to be no way to get it back either...bummer! It'll take me at least 2.5 hours to rewrite it, but I've already got ideas for improvements! (trying to be optimistic!)

Use source control, either a local repository on both machines or (ideally) one with a repository both machines can access (if both have the internet you could use GitHub for example). I use SC even for my noddy projects on a local machine just in case stuff like this happens and anyone can mess up and once the code is overwritten it's gone.

This is one of the many, many reasons to use some form of source control. With modern editors and IDEs, the overhead is negligible and it saves you so many headachese - this scenario being just one of them.

When you are trying to understand some weird while-if conditions in a 15-year old system in java (!). And after that the only thing you do is write.
And just try to think about a New Year coming... ("Do you have a JIRA or other issue tracker?" "No, we don't need it because we don't have testers." - "OK, what about that NullPointer on a production code?" "C'mon, after 15 years every user knows that he shouldn't click that button").

Yep, nothing like coming back into work after 2 weeks, settling in and seeing:
public void DoSomething(){throw new NotImplementedException();}
These are the moments when I realize that I'm an idiot.

I just came across the following comment in some code in our core application:
Care to guess when that was written? (it is still in our code now)
Answer:- I don't know because it was already in the first version of the code loaded into our version control system.

I went to school in a very, very temporary building that was put up shortly after World War 2. It's still going strong.
On that basis, the code should be good a few decades yet.
Slogans aren't solutions.

Is that comment followed by just-good-enough code that somebody should go back and rewrite?
