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.

...btw, if you're a VB programmer and you think that I was insulting you or anything, then you misunderstood my intentions. ...My gripe is with the language and the reasoning behind the language....VB was designed to give "Non"programmers the ability to write quick, dirty desktop apps. I have a HUGE problem with VB being the language of choice in an enterprise setting, because most of the people that actually would say "Oh, I think we'll write this in VB. It does what we need to do" probably doesn't have the skill to make that decision. VB should never be used for anything other than "my app: I'm building it; I'm supporting it; It's running on my machine" Anything that is to actually be deployed to production should be written in a much more appropriate language because the GENERAL developer base for VB is absolute crap(a bunch of kiddie scripters that read a book and presto: qualified) ...and you end up with systems designed like the one that my snippets illustrate.

Again, not insulting ALL VB programmers(A qualified programmer is a qualified programmer is a qualified programmer) ...I write VB(mostly against my will, but what are you gonna do when the system was written in this horrible language and an enhancement comes your way?) ....Gripe about it.....every chance you get. GOD I HATE VB!!!!!
"I need build Skynet. Plz send code"
