Tips to Develop Unmaintainable Code

Markus Sprunck

Quote:

The key skill to unmaintainable code is the obfuscation of the code - besides poor design, no test cases and overly complex algorithms. If you really like to write well maintainable code, feel use this as input for things you shouldn't do in your next project.

Be evil but don't be discoverable as a developer who writes unmaintainable code!

I hear that Leslie Nielson also writes for The Insider[^].

I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

I'd add: Use lots and lots of frameworks and code generation tools.

You know that this could be seen as spam by some members? You are the original author, and the same link was already posted in another section...

If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Hello Marco, Sorry you are right! Yesterday, I updated another article (Top 11 Things Every Software Engineer Should Know) and wanted to post it. Unfortunately I sent the wrong one. I promise to be more careful in the future. This was 100% my fault. Kind Regards Markus

My wife and her have much in common it seems. I once found a bar of dark chocolate in a cupboard. I didn't know then that, like a squirrel does with acorns and nuts it buries, that she occasionally hides bars here and there. I opened it and took a couple of blocks and put it back. A couple of weeks later, she went to that hidden place "known" only to her and she called it to me "Have you been tucking into my chocolate?". I called out (there'd be no point denying it after all) "Guilty as charged." She took it in good humour but her tone was clear, do it again and I'll thump you. :-D

I hear that The OP seems to be Leslie in disguise....
