Some Jerk:

Uhhh... dude? You done commented out half of one post, through a second and half of the next.

Welcome to the HALL OF SHAME! Now you have to WTF your own site!

...indeed.

Remy Porter:

All WTFs started off as a good idea based on some constraint we don't know about. Nobody sits down and goes, "What's the worst possible way to solve this problem?" and then does that.

Only if there was only one language to code in.

TRWTF is <language>

If they did a find-and-replace, they wouldn't be able to put "jQuery" on their resume.

In truth, I find that old debate to be very tired.

Completely agree. Religious debates. I wish I had a pound for every language I had to code in through my career.

(hmmm, actually I think I would want more than that)

Doesn't that pretty much explain the whole "web 2.0" thing where you take perfectly functional HTML pages and rewrite them in JavaScript, just because, you know, you can, and rounded-fade corners are so much more important than actual content?

Don't lump the intent in with the result. The intent is to make online apps feel like windows apps, more or less. Unfortunately... every time a new gadget comes out... people have to sprinkle it all over their websites, whether it is useful or not.

I am surprised that snoofle's most recent saga of the senior release manager did not get deemed the best of the sidebar.

Not to hijack the thread, but you might be interested in an update...

They hired a new senior release manager. He got the lay of the land, then went in and tactfully felt out his boss about making changes. The boss was, as before, resistant to sudden major changes, so the guy took a less forceful - incremental changes - approach. Now, changes are budgeted and on the schedule.

Eric:

Unfortunately, no.

If NASA gives us a Daily WTF once every thirteen years, it would still be pretty dull.

PROFOUND DISAGREEMENT: Contrary to popular belief, not all programmers are created equal. A part of the problem is the income and the potential to produce results while in a state of ignorance. Many feel that because what they are doing works, means they are smart enough that they need not learn anything new. Others choose to believe that if it is something they do not understand, then it is not worth knowing. Still more figure that if it isn't in one of the books they read in college, it is untested theory and they summarily reject it. I find very few programmers that can actually look at a problem and come up with an original solution.

Therefore, I argue that most WTFs come from
1. The learning process
2. An oversight
3. Temporary insanity
4. Profound Ignorance
5. Unwillingness to perform the necessary research
6. Lack of Imagination

I suspect the ones that typically make us laugh are the bottom 3.

What you mean....I always use English. Can't really imagine translating Java to Italian....

I ALWAYS program in English, no matter what technology I use....so I don't understand this talk of other languages

Some Jerk:

I think VB gets ragged on the most... and though I don't use it much anymore... I think I would if they let us make custom word operators similar to what they did with terms like AndAlso and such. I would use "this" instead of "Me" for one thing... simply because every time I am forced to use VB... I keep stumbling over that distinction.

Since AndAlso is suddenly a good operator... I think I would add Aint (IsNot). Since Nothing means what it implies... we need something that references the ancillary something... I would use Shit. Instead of Return, I would use Git...

The this reference could be empty in the event that you are inside of a shared method... so you could say

if this Aint Shit then Git.
