Horrible Hack vs. Temporary Workaround is the truest of them all.

Horrible Hack vs. Temporary Workaround is the truest of them all.

That Perl part is pretty true too. And the legacy code. :p

 

EDIT: And actually, I think that last line might be the truest of them all. :P

[JoeC]

It's a Horrible Hack / Temporary Workaround in any language, no matter how old the code is :P

[Osiris]

haha good find.

 

Complex structure, out of scope, legacy code...the answer, the saving grace and the fun for others to work out, mon-fri.

The very last one made me laugh out loud.

 

The line, "bug - the absence of a feature I like" isn't what a programmer might say. It's what business people do say. As in, "oh, it doesn't do this extra thing that I never told you about or put in a requirements doc. It must be a bug."

That last one made me smile.

 

 

 

I've been using VI for 10 years.  Mainly, because I don't know how to quit out of it.
