Programming Head Shakers
If you’re not reading The Daily WTF and you program, you really ought to give it a spot in your attention stream. Today’s entry is a classic: using a termporary file instead of sprintf. The comments are pretty good as well, dissecting the code and pointing out all kinds of style programs. A humorous way to learn from bad examples.

That sprintf example is a good one. Man talk about the hard way to do something. I would hate to maintain that coded.

Many of the "insightful comments" appear to boil down to "WTF?"

Why did my question get deleted from its post???

Because I couldn't figure out what it had to do with the article. Looked like SPAM to me.
