Ah, a fellow janitorial staff. Some of these shit have been there so long they’ve seeped through the walls. There’s no way to get rid of them, short of demolishing the whole building.

I was kinda hoping you were gonna finish that first sentence with “in a java applet”. Cause that would’ve been awesome.

Oh that’s not uncommon in the industry. Especially when dealing with legacy code.

Personal best was 40k lines in a file called misc.c containing all the global functions that don’t fit anywhere else.

Runner up was the one where each developer dumped their miscellaneous functions in their own files, so they don’t have to deal with merge conflicts. Which means we had x1.c, x2.c, x3.c … etc.
