    Hi :-) Found this Little gem in our codebase:

    public static class volldepp
    {
    public static string getRant()
    {
    return "Moron";
    }
    }

    volldepp is german and i - with my Little knowledge - would translate it to bleeding fool/moron... it´s a "self-produced gem"...i must have been really pissed of by my own stupidity while coding... :~ :sigh: :rolleyes: edit: the Point is, btw, i can´t even remember writing that class... :confused:

            Hopefully, the output was not displayed to an end user, that is when it can get really embarassing. ;) :laugh:

            Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

              :wtf: what an awful Imagination... no, it was "only" in code behind... but it´s really some sort of :-O :-O :-O :-O when a Team mate gives you advice to delete some codefragments because of possible discomfort...

                Oh it's not imagination, I have known coders who thought they had removed some code with embarrassing output, but it made it into production code. Fortunately it was in a rarely accessed part of the code and we found it and got it fixed before end users actually saw it. I now keep telling fellow programmers to not put in in the code unless they want the end users to see it. Inevitably, some of that stuff will make it into production code. :sigh:

                      i once thought that too, but after a short period of time i thought following the above described path would do the trick... It doesn´t... :| :rolleyes:

                        As long as the cursing is limited to the comments it is safe. Unless you show the source code to a client. ;)

                          Yes, my opinion, too. i am convinced, that "distracting" output to the Client can be a reason for instant dismissal... not good... :^) edit: oh,no. as far as i´m concerned, no Client was/is/will be looking into the codebase...:cool:

                                Maybe you didn't. :) Maybe you left the office without locking the workstation and somebody did it for you. That recently became a tradition in my office. :)

                                    Well, for me the case is clear: This class translates insults from german to english.. Well, only one, but hey! You can always add some derived classes! :)
