Coding Horror#
In this post, there are several things programmer complain their predecessor
hundreds of forms named form1,form2, etc
No design document and no comment, or writing comment in Japanese in critical modules
Does not know how to use loop to reduce hundreds of lines to a few lines
name variables like aa,bb,cc, etc
Pretend to know how to code. E.g. claim the TreeView control in VB6 cannot be manipulated in a loop, then blame Microsoft for catching syntax errors and declare them as Microsoft Bugs, This guy also somehow make a three-line loop into 255 lines.
Writing comments like “//I also don’t know what the following code does”
Extensive gotos
And imagine you are asked to cleanup the code… So don’t do things that your successors would complain.
