Ask HN: How often you have the occasion to see bad written code.
How often you have the occasion to see bad written code that make you laugh or that make you ask WTF?
- willvarfar 15y agoI see bad code all the time. Some of it is even worse than my own. I might have laughed or exclaimed WTF? or such once. When I was young and green. Now I am just sadly empty.
- jeggers5 15y agoWhenever I'm frustrated with something, bad code just appears on my screen.
- petervandijck 15y agoAbout as often as I see badly written questions.
- stonemetal 15y agoI have been programming professionally for about 5 years now. So I would say every (working) day for the past 5 years.
- mailarchis 15y ago"Any code not written by me is bad code, And if i do write bad code i make it sure never to look at it again" ---
- LarryA 15y agoGo to just about any programming language tutorial site, you will most likely see bad code.
- veyron 15y agoEvery line of code that I've written in a language other than C or x86/amd64 assembly makes me laugh in retrospect. Maybe because every day I learn about new features in other languages (for example, today I found out about collections.defaultdict, which would easily have saved me about 100 lines of code across all of my scripts)
- damncabbage 15y agoEvery day. My current job involves integrating an old thrown-together system with a very old thrown-together system.
