Henrik H's employer thought they could save money by hiring offshore, and save even more money by hiring offshore junior developers, and save even more money by basically not supervising them at all.

Henrik sends us just one representative line:

if (System.DateTime.Now.AddDays(-365) <= f.ReleaseDate) // 365 days means one year

I appreciate the comment, that certainly "helps" explain the magic number. There's of course, just one little problem: It's wrong. I mean, ~75% of the time, it works every time, but it happily disregards leap years. Which may or may not be a problem in this case, but if they got so far as learning about the AddDays method, they were inches from using AddYears.

I guess it's true what they say: you can lead a dev to docs, but you can't make them think.
