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.

Here and there he uses try and catch, but only to sweep the errors under the rug and go on as if nothing has happened. This man has never heard of OOP and he uses only static methods, probably because he also never heard anything about classes and instances.

I'm thinking we know the same developer here. Smile | :)
I figure that if you are a professional developer for more than 1 year you will run into code like this and know a developer who likes to make spaghetti.

Please believe me, the whole thing is a chaotic unmaintainable mess.

You're preaching to the choir here. I totally agree that it would be.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.
