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.

No, no, no. That's too simple.

Instead, send out a memo congratulating everybody on the positive response to the company-wide move to Octal, and gently reminding them that the two hold-outs will be receiving negative reviews this year.
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.
