Why do some people code at all?
-
Not long ago my company hired another software company to develop a tool for us, because we didn't have the resources to do it ourselves at that time. After they delivered several versions that were all buggy and did not work properly we took the code and I had to finish it. Some endless loops and horrible
try { ... } catch { // do nothing here }later I discovered the following beauty in the code:public bool AskForSureBox(string Message, string Title) { MessageBox.Show(Message, Title, MessageBoxButtons.YesNo); if (DialogResult.Yes.ToString() == "Yes") return true; else return false; }I afterwards took the liberty to write to the CEO of that company, asking him how long the programmer who wrote the code was already coding for his company... Until today I didn't get an answer. Have fun coding!Optimus Chaos wrote:

and let me guess, the person responsible is the ceo's favorite child.
-- You have to explain to them [VB coders] what you mean by "typed". their first response is likely to be something like, "Of course my code is typed. Do you think i magically project it onto the screen with the power of my mind?" --- John Simmons / outlaw programmer

Here is another good one int a = 5; if (a == a) { a = a + 1; } :wtf:
There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who dont.
Thanks for sharing that..I got one hell of a laugh outta it. Even my 16 y.o. non-programming son knew it was screwed. Mike

private bool AskForSureBox(string Message) { return MessageBox.Show(Message, "Are you sure?", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) == DialogResult.Yes; }I just couldn't see passingTitleas a parameter, and it is nice that there is no decisions to branch on. Clean execution path of this code :-D -
