i hate to say that I've definitely written code like that. not any time recently, thankfully (at least I think)



The thing is it’s easy to imagine a situation that leads to this. It’s five o’clock on Friday, your partner is hassling you to get home because you have visitors, you are exhausted because you worked 60 hours this week and your boss is breathing down your neck because they want their pet feature finished right now.

This is why I’m always loathe to criticise stuff I see on WTF.


I could totally conceive places where "you have to write at least N lines of code per day" and then this kind of thing explains itself.
