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.

Any software that has ever been in contact with *nix or *nix developers, even if "ported" to other OSes, is likely to have problems with spaces in filenames. Also be prepared for non-*nix path separators and non-7bitASCII being a potential source of trouble. Even after "porting", expect issues with letter casing.
