    as my 'team leader' does not why the following wrong:

    a.SomeProp = a.SomeProp; // no funny side-effects, plain old property

    And then he asked me not to criticize him... :wtf:

    This seems perfectly reasonable to me. Put in a load of code like this, then seem like a god when you dramatically increase the performance of your application by removing these useless no-ops.

                    Well, it would be wrong if it was written in VB.NET. But since C# programmers can do no wrong. . .

                      If you read the tiny text, you would see it was a joke. Most OAP's are way more predictable than my 'team leader'.

                        Because he was the clown that wrote up a quarter-assed client functional requirement spec. It lacks about 70% of the requirements. And somewhere inside his skull that info still lives (or rots). Please note, this 'client spec' is the only thing our team has to go on, and consistently the client complains about missing functionality. Professionally, I have been trying to avoid taking responsibility for someone else's fuckups, but it seems there is no other way now. Bottom line is, I dont wanna do anything, while he has write-access to the code. he has been spending the last 6 weeks working on something that should have taken 3 days max, given most of the code was copied from somewhere else on the internet (like pretty much all of his code, copies of other people's code, and mine...).

                        Well personally I'd be having a word with management. Going back to the customer and re-drafting the spec will cost face, but not nearly as much face as a product that doesn't work, is never fully delivered, is full of holes and doesn't deliver on promises.

                              Are you suggesting *gasp* taking pride? Wanting to deliver a quality product? Not having to enter a witness protection scheme should anyone find out were you work? What a novel idea!

                                    I wondered were my boss had got to! But as am in a kind mood, you can keep him. ;)

                                          A good AOP design should have orthogonal business logic not affected by 'side effects'.
