I wish there where comments.
To give you a idea at how bad this is (you can compare to your own situation then )
- A method to calculate all the days between 2 given dates that would run for 3 hours without actually doing something (hint year switch mend the loop went on until an integer overflow happened,
not sure how to explain it in English correctly but you probably get the idea)
- A class that inherits from another class that inherits from another class that... (about 5 or 6 layers deep).
- A helper class that has only 2 or 3 methods in it but is 5000+ lines code.
- A function called Convert... that actually updates the database (take a guess at how long it took me to find that bug)
- Update = delete + insert (without transactions) (got most of that out of it (I hope))
- A function called Add... that actually doesn't do adds (well not only adds, also updates (see previous) and deletes)
And then I'm not even touching the fact that EF was used in totally wrong way resulting in massive memory usage (8gig+ to get only 50 records) (got most of that out of it as well I think)
So yeah it's been a long 8months cleaning this mess of a code up and the mess it made in the db's. (and still a long way to go I'm afraid)

...I guess I've never seen an integer overflow really happening...
really sounds like 8 months in hell!!
Good luck

Neither did I until that day.

Yep, and still a few more to go, but at least I got it semi-stable and semi-usable (a year after it's initial release)

Looking at HC6811 assembler written in the mid 90's. Actually it's kinda fun, I must be coming down with something.

yes, it's exactly what I'm doing now... turning winforms into wpf and XMLs into sqlite database records

I keep getting "drop it, leave it alone" suggestions more and more often. But I... just... can't... stop... coding! And modeling... and texturing...
I want to be.. forever young!..
Do you have stuff like that too?

I have a pet project of my own, and I would guess we're not alone. But so far it's only year and something. I've found out these projects help me to stay on the edge of new technologies (Azure, smartphones, etc.) and also they are kind of a therapy. If it's still entertaining for you than there's obvious YES answer for you. I would also ask: Do you feel progress? Is finish in sight or still elusive as it always was?
regards,
Kate

Depends really, on what the project is.
If you are trying to write "Hello World!" in FORTRAN and it's taken you fifteen years and no end in sight, then I'd have to suggest that a surrender to the arms of reality might be a good idea.
But if it's the whole of Quake III Arena written from scratch in ARM assembler for Android Tablets, then I'd have to say "Keep going!" and "Work harder!"

LOL, it's actually the whole Unreal Tournament opensourced on a different platform (thanks, but if I work even harder, I might break )
