Are you kidding? We're talking about tax inspectors! They live for this stuff -- I'd bet the guy assigned to it cancelled his holidays, he was having so much fun.

I heard third-hand that they delivered the DVD's and the directory listing to the IRS, the IRS guy essentially checked a box on a form, and they dumped the whole mess in the secure shredder while our lawyer watched. We could have delivered a spindle of blank DVD's and a box of blank paper, and saved me a couple hours and our technician a couple weeks work (he did the DVD duplication and the directory listings).

:omg: How much did that roll of paper cost that spending a few weeks of labor was the smart choice?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

Delivering the roll of paper would not have, er, 'pleased' the IRS official in charge. Displeasing the IRS is a good way to destroy your life if it's an individual case, or to lose your company if it's a business.

Good practice is a messagebox that says, "The program was going to crash, but the programmer [insert name here] was too awesome to let that happen." Not to mention lots of smiley faces to show how much of a good thing it is.

After recovering from the mental whammy imposed by a 5-million line error, I wondered how many lines of code our current project was. The final count is 1,061,156. this number includes comments and blank lines because I consider them to be important parts of the coding process (comments tell a story about the code, and blank lines are organizational in nature, and therefore require a modicum of thought on the part of the programmer). BTW, there are just two developers assigned to this code base, and the line count only includes the desktop apps (there is a dashboard and a web portal as well).

God made compilers to imagine brace mismatches? I think we're really screwed...

I'm saying if your compiler doesn't catch brace mismatches, you've got bigger problems.
