Oh, don't worry, I think his/her skills are well above the average ones of the IT directors I ever had. :-D

((lambda (x) `((lambda (x) ,x) ',x)) '`((lambda (x) ,x) ',x))As a former boss of mine once told me: "People will be promoted to their levels of incompetence" And as I've seen firsthand, if management likes someone who is a dumb as a stump, they will be moved into a position where they can do the least damage.
I don't claim to be a know it all, for I know that I am not...
I usually have an answer though.

And the copy paste is just good re-use of code, right? :laugh: Bill W
Just because code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.
And orthogonal too. :-D

((lambda (x) `((lambda (x) ,x) ',x)) '`((lambda (x) ,x) ',x))Am I seeing right? Does one of these 'functions' really have around 1500 lines ??? I normally consider more than 20/25 LOC bad (except it is a trivial switch statement or something of that kind)... And even worse, the 'programmer' who created this nightmare is your boss?? Poor you, get out of there as quick as possible (or at least prevent your boss from coding somehow)! Regards Thomas

Seriously, 1467 lines worth of copy and pasting. I don't care if he/she's your boss, shoot them, or better yet, give me their id, I'll do it...

Nice. Anyway I strongly doubt the developer who created such brilliant method names will agree about the need of refactoring. ;P Well, I forgot you're the boss! :-D
