    Hmmm... What is the point of your post? Do you mean Marc is a pensioner? How does that relate to AOP or side-effects?

      I write 90% of my C# without side effects (excluding generated-code of course, that doesn't count). There is no reason why someone cannot do the same.

            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!

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

                                        I considered 'festering scrotal sack' but felt it was a wee bit too much. 'Complete and utter ###t' was way off the chart and would never get past the hampsters' black pens. So I settled for 'Gonad chops'.

                                          Good point, and here's why: I have been experimenting with the Post# AOP Framework - which I think is quite a nice product and certainly could be very useful in a number of areas. However, due to not reading the manual ( ;P ), and therefore because I didn't know that I should override the OnException method in the Aspect, I got caught out by an exception that was being swallowed by the framework. Now admittedly, that's me being an idiot for not bothering to read up on usage, however if this wasn't properly documented - or if developers were rushing to get this into production without fully understanding it - I could see a whole bunch of very difficult to trace bugs being introduced. AOP, though, I think is a pretty neat concept. It has its pit-falls like everything else, but used judiciously is another handy tool for the toolbox.

                                          print "http://www.codeproject.com".toURL().text Ain't that Groovy?
