What’s worse than code with no comments?
Code with comments that are WRONG.
What’s worse than that?
Code with comments that are PLAUSIBLE but still WRONG.
I spent today resolving the differences between what the code did, what the comments said the code did, and what we had all agreed the code OUGHT to do.
not ideal, when my deadline is tomorrow. Fussocks.

How about being asked to write some code.
Then asking IT to install a compiler on your computer.
Then being told that compilers are non-standard software (yes, this company’s purpose is to provide software solutions).
Then finding out that you don’t have the budget to get IT to install a compiler on your computer.
Then realising that the company has worn you down so much that you are actually wondering how much ofit you can write in VBA in Excel and take home and transfer to a sensible language at home and compile on your own time.
Anyone know of any good programming jobs?
Argh! Pet hate alert! Pet hate alert!
