The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

I assume you mean that he was just old or out of touch. Why on earth does he think you can't pass a class back? More importantly, why's he passing a DataSet back? DataSets are really bad practice when you're developing a web service - they are bloated and not interoperable with other platforms without extra development effort. Mind you, there are so many WTFs in his solution that I can't begin to allude to the horror in it.


Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.
