the fall of Foudouko, the fate of Mamadou : a dark tale worthy of Master William of Avon, methinks: [^] Video (not for children ?) here: [^]
imho, this story has everything MacBeth, Titus Andronicus, and Hamlet have, and more butt-foo than the Kardahians.
And, oh yes, it reminds me of a certain software company I was an inmate of for a few years.
cheers, Bill

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Yes, but all those stress hormones...
If it's not so good for ordinary pork, it will also not make such a dirty pig taste better.

Working for DAYS on a code set based on an idea, and then, just as you get it working reliably, it occurs to you that there's a MUCH better way to do it, and then you think, "am I gonna be embarrassed when someone else looks at this code?", and because it hurts to think about, you decided to refactor by starting all over again, and realize that 95% of the code you implemented wasn't necessary to begin with, and the other 5% is all that's usable from your sense of failure and self-loathing?
Or do you just say "f*ck it" and release it to production?

I do that a lot. Generally I don't have a clue what I'm doing when I get going, and it emerges what was required, and the flaws in my simplistic approach. Then I do it all over again, often more than once. This is the road to perfection.

It's the road to somewhere, that's for sure. In my case, it feel more like the insane asylum, though...

If it's not needed then chop it out.. every extra line of code is a potential performance hit or bug just waiting to make your life a misery weeks/months/years(!) down the road
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

Release it but put in some comments that make people think somebody else wrote it!

I try to write comments like an Indian. That way, everyone will think the code was outsourced, and will understand why the code looks like it does.

You mean like "How! This code run fast like great metal horse across the wide open prairies where the buffalo roams! Hoka hey!"?

Isn't that the definition of "prototype"?
But prototyping is a dying art. Even in hardware circles, we sometimes shipped hand-wired prototypes to meet delivery schedules.

Suddenly you made me realize there's a reason there's a "pro" in "prototype".

If you find there's a better way that won't take you a long time to implement... use it. You'll thank yourself later.

If you work for an organization that measures progress by lines-of-code, then comment out the existing stuff with
#if 0
...
#endif and add the new approach. If not, then remove the old stuff and go on.
