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.

I'm not "worried". I'm old, and I started working in the industry back in the late 70's, when we only had single sided 5-1/4 inch floppies and 64k of RAM. Conservation of resources was a really big deal back then, and while I realize that resources are generally more abundant today, I still code as if they weren't.

I realize that the .Net framework requires almost 5gb of disk space to install, but I view that as part of the OS, and not part of my application when I deploy it. When my app grows to over 10mm for a simple "hello world" application, I get a bit annoyed.
