Old code...

Post by jason »

You know, it's sometimes funny looking back on old code. It's even funnier when you thought it was actually good, heh.

Here is a public display of code I wrote more than 2 years ago:

Have a laugh. :D

Is this the month of code cleanup? I am re-working old code at the moment, and shuddering at the ugliness.

I had a user bring a bug to my attention on an application I have not touched in two years. It's a Windows C++ app of modest complexity, about 70,000 lines of code. I went into the project, tracked down the problem, identified the bug and fixed it in less than five minutes.

Design and documentation. Time consuming then. Saved the day now.
