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.

It's not just JS, there's other languages where the compiler just chugs along trying to make sense of whatever code is there. VB isn't much better (although option strict and option explicit help). Or what about C? Ever had a nonsensical (it seems) error 14 lines later than where you made the mistake? And that's supposed to be THE system language on the planet.
