    Shouldn't this definition be apply to the programmer? On second thought, I don't know if there's a cure for idiocy. :)

      We should start a developer's most commonly used word forum, just like the one we have for managers. This particular word (destupid) would go right to the top. "Refactor" would be my addition - I use it often. There are performance issues and the code needs to be "refactored" and I would be needing 2 more days. Works all the time with management. :)

      The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick - Silverlight *.XCP files. Visit the Hindi forum here.

        That might be a manager word, because we only use it to appease the managers and get them off our backs. Every other coder knows your really just destupifying the original author's work.

              We have "un-de-refactor" here at work.

              Everything makes sense in someone's mind

                    "Dedumb" would be better, because it at least lets you hum the Pink Panther tune while you're working.
