I'm having the same issue here, just the code is in JS.

Continuing from here... Since I am not at liberty to make a Weird and Wonderful post, I will rant here instead. Apart from the 100 KLOC, there are some real "hidden" gems here. Apparently a series of callbacks go to 27 calls deep. And :doh: those were JavaScript Promise "then" callbacks invoking another promise. No one taught them to return the promise.

Someone decided to write an entire AngularJS application of ~100k lines in a single file X| And now here I am swimming through a lake of javas**t to find out why something works. And, to add to the infinite _crazyness_, the app depends on a cordova plugin that will only run on an android device. (Can't use remote debugging either, due to an ancient cordova version).

I and she had a "disagreement" over what code style to use for a hobby web app we are writing together. So I went secretly and added a pre-commit hook that runs `eslint --fix` (To be continued...)

Many of the programmers will have either one of the dreams i.e creating an antivirus or creating their own operating system. Well, I had the former dream that creating an anti-virus of my own. After many months of hard work, I finally made an antivirus which meets most of the standard requirements for an anti-virus., It is a portable solution and it has many features included along with it

When I was 18 ... I dreamt of distributed system architectures (and I was good at it ;P ) I think instead of creating your own wild product, I would suggest to contribute your effort to an existing open-source product, called ClamAV. We use it in Postfix installations, so do a million others.

I'll put "repainting the app to look modern" in the narrow sense.

What does "modernize" really mean these days? A new coat of paint perhaps? :sigh:

Ofcourse that - CSS (read: cuss) changes. Replacing old JS with new ones. And update struts libraries due to this scary CVE[^]

They all suck. I hate Norton more than anyone else though, It all started in my high school days. I was writing a C application. I compiled it and Norton deleted it. (I admit I was injecting my DLL into a process, but was it too shady?) Then I deleted Norton. I used ESET since then till I decided to replace everything with Ubuntu and KUbuntu. (I know Linux has virus and worms. Just nothing like drive by infections as in Windows)

Not so long ago, CSS struck me with its demonic spells (well the blame goes to mickeysoft) Though I managed to kill it and bury it. And this time.. Looks like the demon has come back to haunt my layout from the dead. Rising from the graveyard where I tried to bury it (aka CSS flexbox) My buttons are suddenly top-aligned. And I'm getting no clue why. Interstingly, I have not touched my CSS in any way since my last demon slaying. Git diff has just confirmed that. So what ghost does this! -_-

Really, I don't understand why it's so difficult to fix the 'internal thing' to work with the modern browsers as it's usually just outdated javascript or css.

No it isn't difficult at all. But no one cares to update it. It does contain some kind of ActiveX back from the IE6 days which refuses to run on new machines.

Thank you for your awesome answer for my non programming question. Especially for the link to the old syntax and how to mix it with the new syntax properly. But the idiot devil sysadmin has turned off JavaScript Old : As I'm told a couple of boxes may still run IE 6. Majority are Windows 7 boxes, so I guess should be IE 8 Pretty old indeed. With the exception of dev boxes that we use. I'm not using flexbox now. Had to go the hard way with floats and inline-blocks.
