I don’t think I can claim 30anything anymore… Isn’t hard to look in your 30’s with gray hair?

Isn’t that why The Rawrchitect can’t ever seem to find that last bug?

Didn’t I just make this so I could reply to you?

And don’t we just think that @OtherMichael is older because he has so many babbies?

Surely that’s the only reason?

Have you ever seen any of the winning entries from the Obfuscated Perl Code contest? Did I ever mention inheriting undocumented code that looked pretty similar?

Didn’t I once inherit code which had a ludicrous level of nested loops, so they dumped half of it into another module purely to get their McCabe score down to pass review criteria?

Wasn’t I doing better?

I’m thirty-seven, I’m not old!

Right?

Ed: not really though. I had a bday recently.

Have you ever found a module nested several layers down that did nothing but return what it was passed, with a comment saying #Might do something in future. ?

Aren’t some of us a bit older than 37?

Did you know that part of my day was cleaning up code that was only dumping the exception.Message into the logs, instead of exception.ToString() ?

#F*****S

And didn’t it previously fill up my logs with these useful nuggets of wisdom?

Is that why you’re so grouchy today? (Can I double like your last post now that you edited it?)

Didn’t fixing that improve my mood?

(My mood may have more to do with coding personal projects until midnight, waking up several times a night to deal with various babby and youngling issues, and having my alarm go off at 6am than I’d care to admit to my wife.)

Is it obvious what might go there in the future, or are you just mean spirited?

Wouldn’t the obvious answer be “yes”?

Isn’t it amusing that I work in healthcare, and “McCabe score” means two wildly different things depending on who you’re talking to?

Wouldn’t the Spark Examiner have flagged that? (as a flow error?)

BTW, has anybody actually welcomed @RatMan to this thread, much less the bbs?
