- Tainnor 3y agoI'm convinced at least 50% of thedailywtf is made up. But maybe that's just something I tell myself so I can sleep better.
- Ygg2 3y agoI'm convinced 75% of it is real. I don't sleep at night.
- moffkalast 3y agoYou sleep during the day?
- Ygg2 3y agoNo :P
- formerly_proven 3y agoI think most of it is made up but I’ve also seen a database schema and usage pattern (in an enterprise / MSSQL application) that’s far worse than anything I’ve read on that site so maybe it isn’t. But a lot of the stories have this ring of made-upness to it.
- Tainnor 3y agoThe code isn't what I find unbelievable, it's the embellishments and the characters in the story.
- imtringued 3y agoWhy would someone put an example of how to delete the database in the comments and it happens to exactly line up with whatever comment based pragma system "Tom" developed?
