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.

1- the link refers to Java, not .Net. MS has nothing to do with this.
2- if this fragment is required, the developer is doing it wrong. He is using the wrong class for the wrong job or has not properly configured the app ( a cache in this case)
3 - the class is defective, perhaps one of 100 open-source jars to choose from, perhaps another “vendor” is in order
4- is this H1-B code? That would explain it.
