Raymond Chen sometimes blogs about all the weird historical niggles and backwards compatibility hacks that lace the Win32 API because of, ultimately, shitty C++ code. I've seen similar, or even worse. And yet, I've got absolutely nothing to complain about compared to some of the horror stories I've heard from other devs and the codebases they work on.
