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.

Just pick C#, whatever your intentions.

5 years of working with high school graduates, and that's the one with the lowest learning curve on average.

At a glance, here are definitely more concise and human readable languages out there (lolcode is a nice example) but they all come at the cost of a much higher learning curve and very limited functionality.

Notice the lack of "or" in the previous sentence. 🙂
