On the way in to work there is a field where white and black sheep are kept.
A colleague of mine pointed out that they were segregated and wondered if that was abahtheid.

They would, except they're too chicken.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

To that question, Ernie vehemently retorted, "No friggin' way would I ever join that group!", what, with he being the "{insert melanin intensity level here} sheep" of the NASCAR aficionado (e.g., 'racist') herd he grew up in.

Was just adding something in QA and I thought: there are things no sentient coder should do these days, but every day in QA we see some halfwit doing them.
So I figure we need a list of Crimes and Misdemeanors, and these are my first candidates.
Misdemeanors are "smack on the head" offenses, Crimes deserve a death sentence! 
Misdemeanors:
A) Ignoring existing standards and modifying someone else's code "your way".
Crimes:
A) Storing passwords in plain text: CommitStrip[^]
B) Leaving your code open to SQL Injection: XKCD[^]
C) Committing code that doesn't compile.
Anyone want to add to these?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Concatenating constant-strings.
Swallowing exceptions.
Throwing ex;
P/Invokes copied from the web when there's a managed alternative.
..would become a long list.

I'm just waiting for the first person to put "uses JavaScript" or "uses VB".

Whatever happened to that whole dissing VB thing?
We didn't all inadvertently grow up, did we?

The diss JavaScript people must be fairly stupid by now.
And the whole dissing VB always seemed so childish. Especially from C# programmers.

Some exceptions are OK to ignore.

What about when you are in the middle of a long process of sql things and then you call one SP that sets a value but is not critical to anything else. If it fails, it's OK because a separate process later on will fix it anyway. What do you do then with the exception?

I log it; I want to know *why* it failed and why I did not consider it as a possible path.
Hence the term "unexpected" - there's also some exceptions that *are* expected

Then it sounds like the process is organized poorly. If a separate process will "fix it anyway", then why does the original stored procedure need to be done at all?
For that matter, if you've got processes that fix problems in earlier steps, then you've got a system built out of Band-Aid™s.

No, it's called dealing with 3rd party tools.

You have my sympathy.
I hate dealing with third-party tools in our products. As the DSJB(*) I get to write our installers. I have one product that requires not one but two different versions of the Visual C++ runtime because of third-party dependencies.
