Boxing is the greatest sport. It gets past all that silly foreplay and you get to see what you came there to see... the fight!

The most ruthless game I've ever played is Croquet. It looks genteel, but you constantly have to F@*k your opponents as much as possible over to win.
Don't confuse Cricket with Croquet[^]

I did play croquet in my backyard when I was younger. Maybe that's why I always make miniature golf a full-contact (as far as our balls are concerned) sport.

Leave my balls alone, would you...

Despite YEARS of development, we would still get a if pressed CTRL + Backspace in Visual Studio anywhere outside the code editor. What's interesting: it happens even in new WPF-y diagramming tools. It seems that Microsoft decided to cultivate the tradition bug.
I ask: How many years do we have to wait yet?

I guess Microsoft hasn't realized that there are power users out there who actually use shortcuts...

I guess Microsoft keep that bug as a signature of tradition

I hope he keeps delighting us with his coding horrors as he gets more into programming.

That is indeed a horror; especially from someone who should know better
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

He's an accountant. Give him a few years as a programmer and I'm sure he'll know better.

Although I am not primarily a driver developer, I have written a few. The 1st rule is don't put any MessageBoxes in the driver not even while debugging.

Recently a developer in the team decided to prefix all classes in a namespace with a four alphabet acronym (let's call it DSRS, it's pretty close to what it is). I cannot elaborate how many brain cells have gone dead in me in comprehending the code and telling him to remove that prefix or use something more useful. His answer: people will get used to it and so will new devs... Speechless....

A very similar thing was done to the main database at my last job. Only took me 1-2 years to "get used to" it.
Though, to be honest, it was actually somewhat useful in the way they did the naming. When they casually used the prefixes in conversation and expected you to know what it meant was when it got confusing.

Draw a red circle whit a slash through it (the classic 'No' symbol), and put TLA in the middle.

I recommend going a search and replace operation to replace this acronym by another: RTFM

Reminds me another programmer I know. He prefixed everything with his initials
|
|
|
|
|
Now that is one of the most useless prefixes that I have heard of!
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

So you know at least which classes have to be exchanged
|
|
|
|
|
Haha... Never thought like that . But true ! I can write a script and have it do it for me ! In the end, the prefix will only apply to my script: ABCDPrefixRemover.bat

I had the reserve.
Wenn seeing my initials (PH) in an id i wen "What the... ? Why would I put my initials here? Was I drunk on imagined importance that day? I am soooo ashamed of myself!"
Only the next day I figured, it means "Post History". As the comment above it said.
(And no, "Post History" is not "the Present" in this context).

There was a guy at my last job who did that. And every one of my coworkers insisted I mark each change I made to a stored procedure with a comment containing my name so they know who made the change (so they could go to that programmer and ask him/her about it). They thought that was a better idea than version control. Even though the code was littered with names of old programmers who no longer worked there.

If it doesn't breach your development teams coding standards, then it's valid. You do have coding standards, yeah?
Microsoft's standards recommend TLA's should be title case ie: Dsrs not DSRS unless the TLA is only 2 letters in which case it should be all caps ie: System.IO.
The upside is that developers have there own approach to solving problems and tell-tale signatures like this will help you debug their code. Recognising individual programming styles is a good thing.
BTW it is crap but this sort of thing isn't uncommon. A better solution would be to extend the namespace to include Dsrs
