programming fuck ups

What's the biggest screw up you ever made writing software?  Once a team I was on overshot a DCUT for some datacenter automation tools by two weeks, and it still ended up being shitty because the customer kept wanting to add shit.

Yes, and it's a great feature. First, because it forces idiots who don't indent their code properly to do so. Bad indenting = syntax error. Second, because it saves you braces and lines of code, making more code fit in a screen, making code easier to read. Third, because there are no gotchas such as:


if (tl_dr)
    if (yoshinoya)
        me.lmao();
else
    troll();


Because of this gotcha, and more importantly, because of the common debugging printf you add and remove here and there, I got used to always using braces, but it's less nice looking.

What, optional? Exactly the people who need it forced on them are going to disable it. That was perfectly well thought.
