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.

We place change notes in our source files that are marked with a date. An automated tool extracts these notes and correlates the dates to version numbers, producing a change list document for each build. I just noticed an odd entry that kept popping up at the head of the list of changes, even though it describes an issue that was fixed last year.

The date marker on the entry was "07/02/2112" Sigh | :sigh: . Cue Rush[^]...
Software Zen: delete this;
