Another from my boss!

That's exaclly the problem!!! hehe, he actualy force me to work like him! I had lengthy discussions with him for that. Just for example, He keeps using Datatables against collection of custom objects, His reasons: 1: Datatables are fastest and lighter 1: I did a small benchmark code that loaded 10000 Customers to a datatable and to a collection of objects, Collection of objects loaded 3 to 5 times faster and consumed half the memory that datatable So he switch his argument to: 2:Collection of object are not easily bindable! 2:So i created a collection that inherits BindingList, and showed him! So he switched: 3:Collection of object are more insecure, becouse you can make mistakes when you fill them! 3:Customer.Name is always more secure that doing DTCustomers("Name") So in his last chance hi sayd: 4:But collection of objects keeps the memory fragmented, while datatable is loaded in a single continuous block of memory 4:At that point i just say, ok, do whatever you want, you are the boss!! Well, it's always like that. The other day i discused like 1 hour for this: We was working on a project and he has done something like this
Dim MIObject as object
Do
If condition then MiObject = AnotherObject
Loop
MiObject.DoSomenthingOf course the ide throws a warning becouse "MiObject" could be nothing. So tied of seen that warning, i replaced: Dim MIObject as object by Dim MIObject as object = Nothing So, i spend 2 hour arguing with him, couse he was saying that "= Nothing" loaded the Class in memory and etc... Or for example, i created a Class customer that we can use in every project, i pass the code to him, and when i get it back i see he made a Public Sub in a module like: "ChangeCustomerEmail(CusId as integer, Mail as String)", God Dammit!! for what the hell i did the customer class then? So, this is how i work everyday, i am really tired.
Tell him you were in accident, and you now suffer from code amnesia, and all that you can remember is assembly and perl :)

Sounds like someone i used to work for. Every time i proposed creating a new class to put functionality in, i was met with "Don't create any new objects, instantiation is expensive and it will make the system inefficient." The net result was huge functions in huge code files and a flat packed inter dependant code structure.(Among other gems) However, i now work for a company that encourages pragmatic design so all is well.

Don't worry, we are only 2 in the development sector, me and my boss, and obviously he doesn't read The Code Project.com! ;) Anyway, i am really tied of working with someone like this, i see no future here, and i am actually looking for another job.
Oh yeah, I'd hire you in a flash. Especially as you have total respect for your line manager and are completely discreet when it comes to the publishing of in house code :)
The only thing unpredictable about me is just how predictable I'm going to be.

It was obvious that your boss is a moron when it comes to coding after the first post. What is the point of later posts? To humiliate the man? I've met my deal of people who take pride in bashing others, and honestly I'm sick of them. I dislike people who write lousy code, but I dislike idiots who heal their own frustrations by laughing at others even more. Are you fed up with idiotic algorithms of your boss? Sit down with him and talk about your views on coding. He doesn't want that? Fine, ignore him, or quit the job. (rant on doing stupid things... could offended someone, so I deleted it) That said, I truly hope that one day you'll be the boss and have not one, but several employees like you.

You'd better hope that this continues. This site is rather famous you know, and google does tend to return results from here. I assume he does use google.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

I don't think that codeproject forum is google-friendly.. I do a lot of googling everyday but I never saw any post of the codeproject *forum* in google result.. I did suggest about that once and I think cp guys are working on that thing now.

Not so much the forums as the site itself - and from there, just a quick click to the forums, and then a quick boot out of the door for the OP.

Wait a second! This is a form to post "Coding Horrors". Just because he keeps looking to the same person (and that person is unbelievably bad) does not make him a person who takes pride in "bashing" others. Posting bad code is the point of this forum. Myself, I've enjoyed looking at these code examples for exactly the reason I am browsing this board -- to shake my head in disbelief.
