    I particularly like the boolean parameter and its implications. Does "false" mean the developer happens not to be retarded? Wouldn't that exception then be silently swallowed? And what is the correct exception handling policy for this kind of exception, particularly when issued with a true parameter? Delete the developer's hard disk?

    I see your confusion, but apparently you haven't worked with nte methods before, or with the Integernte framework. Any experienced retarded developer knows that, right!

    Just for clarity:

    public static boolean isCommentnteFrist(String commentnte) {

    // probably not by now
throw new RetardedDeveloperException(false);

    }

    public static boolean isCommentFrist(String commentnte) {

    // probably not by now
throw new RetardedDeveloperException(true);

    }

    Obviously any RetardedDeveloperException ultimately causes one of your CPU cores to be used for melting marshmallows by chipmunks on LSD.

    Correct handling policy pattern for RetardedDeveloperException:

      try {
     lameDeveloperCode();
  } catch (RetardedDeveloperException e) {
     if (e.isRetarded() {
        goodDeveloperCode();

    I don't see the WTF. As far as I can see, this developer is ahead of all of us. Who among us could write a method that checks not the integer that we pass in, but the integer that we intended to pass in? This is an ESP library. I'm in awe.

    Mu!

    Null is the value that is not a value. To ask what it's value nature is is to deny its Null nature, and yet it is a value nonetheless. Compare with NaN in IEEE floating point.

    I'm implementing this in my code, I think it's grand.

    public bool IsTrue(boolean TrueOrFalse) { bool Error = false; if(TrueOrFalse == true) { Error = false; } return Error; }

    but it didn't seem to work right, so I made another public bool IsTrue(boolean TrueOrFalse) { bool Error = false; if(TrueOrFalse.ToString().ToUpper() == "TRUE") { Error = true; } return Error; }

    this one seems to work better.

    I saw this code the other day from a developer who thought he was clever for using ternary syntax:

    $myBooleanValue = ($param==1)?"true":"false";

    The best part? He justified it because the code someone else had written was expecting a string value of "true" or "false" for $myBooleanValue.

    I think this is my favourite wtfery ever. Every little wtf is like a tiny hidden gem - I have to go over each method again and again to find all the things that my brain refused to acknowledge last time, they're just so gorgeously horrific. /me reads it again...

    Addendum (2009-11-02 11:11): I love that the isEmpty method returns a string, and you have to check whether it's returned the empty string, to find out if your first string was empty.

    }

    bad, i know , wtf - i know..but its no where near as bad as String green="#00FF00"; if (isNull(green)) { green = isEmpty("","event"); //green might have been set to red, but fortunately isNull will return false... }

    green = null;

    if (isNotNull(green)) { green = isEmpty(green,"notNullEvent"); //at this point we'd have a null pointer exception... //good thing we made sure our string is not null. }
