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.

GeneralSpan<T> equality Pin

Taking a leaf from JavaScript's clarity of definition for equality, in Span<T>.Inequality(Span<T>, Span<T>) Operator (System) | Microsoft Learn , the following definition of equality seems a bit suspect...

"Two Span<t> objects are equal if they have different lengths or if the corresponding elements of left and right do not point to the same memory."
"If you don't fail at least 90 percent of the time, you're not aiming high enough."
Alan Kay.
