Off the top of my head ...

  • There's a level of Hell reserved for people who consider creating temporary files and directories with formats like tempdir-{month}{day}.
  • There's a level of Hell reserved for people who write batch processing code that doesn't clean up after itself.
  • There's a level of Hell reserved for global and environment variables and those people who use them without care or regard in production code.
  • There's a level of Hell reserved for those people who write uncommented and unstructured code.
  • There's a level of Hell reserved for that person who did all of the above in some production code which caused me a headache in debugging today.
  • There's a level of Hell reserved for those people who don't understand what's involved in production code but demand for it to be "just fixed so it works".
  • There's a level of Hell reserved for people who use bless $self, ref($proto) || $proto
  • There's a level of Hell reserved for people who write "object-orientated" modules that break inheritance.
  • There's a level of Hell reserved for the person who incorporated the concept of "ASCII" and "binary" files into the FTP protocol and the Windows operating system - Come'on, it's all just bits, ones and zeros, people!
  • There's a level of Hell reserved for the person who incorporated the \r\n line feed on Windows platforms - Yes, I know there was a valid historical motivation in doing it this way, but I'm venting!

I am feeling vented ... :-)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
