This is just for the laugh of it.

Hi. Background: Co-Worker, (Female <- not biased, just stating the fact), Qualification: Architect... (btw, this is all C# VS2008 code, I swear) Ok, one for the count:

public static bool NameExists (string name)
{
bool exists = false;
int i = 0;
while ((i < someListContainingNames.Count) && (exists == false))
{
if (someListContainingNames[i] == filename)
{
exists = true;
}
i++;
}
return exists;
}

Please see if you can read this... (Original code kept):

        else if (   ((isEXEDLL == true) || (isEXEConfig == true))
                 && ((staysTheSameEXEDLL == false) || (EXEDLLPathExistsSoCanProcess == true))
                 ) 
        {
           if (  ((isEXEDLL == true) || (isEXEConfig == true)) 
              && (staysTheSameEXEDLL == false)
              ) 
           {
              if (canCopy.DoCopy == true)
              {

Spot the redundency (Regex's left out):

     string str = "";
     string str2 = "";
     Regex regex1 = new Regex(regex1String, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
     Regex regex2 = new Regex(regex2String, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
     Regex regex3 = new Regex(regex3String, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
     Regex regex4 = new Regex(regex4String, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

     if (regex1.IsMatch(filename))
     {
        str = regex1.Match(filename).Groups\["code"\].Value.ToUpper();
        str2 = regex1.Match(filename).Groups\["type"\].Value.ToUpper();
     }
     else if (regex2.IsMatch(filename))
     {
        str = regex2.Match(filename).Groups\["code"\].Value.ToUpper();
        str2 = regex2.Match(filename).Groups\["type"\].Value.ToUpper();
     }
     else if (regex3.IsMatch(filename))
     {
        str = regex3.Match(filename).Groups\["code"\].Value.ToUpper();
        str2 = regex3.Match(filename).Groups\["type"\].Value.ToUpper();
     }
     else if (regex4.IsMatch(filename))
     {
        str = regex4.Match(filename).Groups\["code"\].Value.ToUpper();
        str2 = regex4.Match(filename).Groups\["type"\].Value.ToUpper();
     }
     else
     {
        str = "";
        str2 = "";
     }

     if (  (regex1.IsMatch(filename))
        || (regex2.IsMatch(filename))
        || (regex3.IsMatch(filename))
        || (regex4.IsMatch(filename))
        )

Not sure about the sql query your colleague wrote. That had to be a joke on a dull Friday afternoon :)

My thoughts exactly.

adamsappel

Why not? If it was worth mentioning that the profession of the "developer" in question is, it's worth mentioning what the sex of the person is. Well done on nitpicking. Feminist pricks.

Race? Age? Country of origin? Religion?

Race? 100m for people with no sense of direction. Age? middle Country of origin? Current thinking is North Africa, maybe Egypt, then humans slowly migrated across all the land mass. Religion? Helps in the dark pit of night. Does that help?

I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days :)

Female <- not biased, just stating the fact

One of my (female) colleague accepts the fact that females aren't technically that sound. (I just mentioned her thought, not mine ! ;P )

-Malli...! :rose:****

Such a nice quote. Seriously, I feel your pain. :( PS: I'm not an "Rsole" (PPS: is it still 'an' and not 'a' when using illegal abreviations, whilst being a little hipocritical with your quote?)

adamsappel

Not saying females aren't technically sound, just saying their track record isn't exactly up to scratch, which is kind of contradicting myself, so ignore my first statement... :)

What, exactly, is an Rsole?? :confused:

I have a couple of apps that I maintain (originally written by, yes, a female, human as well, and an entry-level developer) who constantly checked for (boolean_value = true). :doh:

Why? It doesn't have any bearing on the code.

That has a bearing on the code. The sex of the person doesn't.

You're just being a bigotted sexist pig, and people are rightly offended by such an obnoxious attitude.

Jeez, is that the letter 'a'? :laugh:

I agree. The quality of the code written does not have any real relation to the gender of the individual. It is more of the individual and the background, training, mentoring that they have received when learning to code.
