Source code always wins... Only way to defeat it is to _not_ write any :)

Long ago, I used to be pissed off when I saw sloppy coding. These days I read somebody's code and I can immediately notice the bugs, the logic gaps and the performance issues.

The only thing which still captures my attention, is when I find source code which is thoughtful, well-designed, masterfully implemented and well-commented/documented.

Then I shake their hand, and explain how much I appreciate their work and that I'm proud to be their colleague.

For more coding horror stories find The Daily WTF. (Use google search, my post may be deleted if I link it.)

This is what Russel Crowe in " Gladiator " would have looked like if it had taken place at Dilbert's company. Though I think that this cartoon may fly over the heads of some people who don't understand coding. For those of us who do it's hysterical.

I just about died laughing at the story of your friend's dad.

Also your students' code is easier to understand (but not easier to check).

How inefficient is the loop?
1 Allocate a variable i, load constant 10, store to i.
2 Jump to 6
3 load variable i
4 call print
5 load variable i, decrement, store to i
6 load variable i, load constant 0, compare
7 jump if not greater to 3

But I get your point.
