    Oh my god....

    Was it formatted like that in the original application? Or are you obfuscating it to give it more wtf-ery? (or wth-ery or whatever-it-is-we-are-this-werk-ery)

    This is actually code that mortgage lenders have been using to decide whether you're sub-prime or not. You feed in the details, and if the answer comes back before the week is out, you get your loan.

  • SQLFormatPedant (unregistered) in reply to StarLite

    I don't think your formatting should start a new line for the "AND" in "BETWEEN -1 AND 4" for example - confuses rather than simplifies understanding.

    Also did you spot the deliberate mistake in the code? "WHEN "- Open Date"."Day in Week" <= 7 AND "Help Desk Attributes"."TAT To Close - Days" <= 76 THEN 2" obviously should be "WHEN "- Open Date"."Day in Week" <= 7 AND "Help Desk Attributes"."TAT To Close - Days" <= 6 THEN 2"

    WTF!

    Probably 1% of "enterprise grade" code is written exactly this way (a 1500 liner where 10 lines suffice), and the people who do it think no less of themselves. That's the real WTF.

    Somehow, that the reformatting only serves to highlight just how crazy it actually is. Before, it just -seemed- crazy. Now I know it is.
    It does look a little better with indentation. The same way a turd looks better than a turd that has been stepped on and smeared on the sidewalk...

    I worked for a subprime lender for about 5 years, and the actual approval code looks more like this:
