What the fuck is up with faggots posting retarded comments all over the code?
Some guy basically typed a story, seriously:
// The Lost Chapters 1 - Clearing the scene
private function CLEARTHESCENE():void
{
// The scene, is what contains every piece of data in this land
// it's very important to clear it once in a while to prevent war
// and to help maintain peace inside the kingdom
// In order to clear the scene, the wizard cv_ArticleInfo was summoned
cv_ArticleInfo.visible=true;
// cv_ArticleInfo casted a powerfull spell to erase every information from the
// legendary field's memories.
txt_ArticleName.text = "";
lblName.text = "";
ns_ArticlePrice.value = 0;
ns_ArticleQty.value = 0;
}
There's over 200 lines of this shit. Each method/function is a chapter. Every variable is named something retarded like "o", "fffffuuuu", "wat_do" and "lolpenis". I can't understand shit and I have to make changes to that clusterfuck.
One company I used to work at had the greatest/worst intern ever. He was a certifiable genius but had a massive problem with documentation and making the code easy to read. The main issue was that he got high a lot. And I'm not talking about just pot.
One Day we asked him to fix our shitty code base in this one section. I'm talking about 40 nested if/while statements. So we let him work on that for a week. I asked him if he finished it and hey said he'd done it the second day. Most of the code was an acid trip gone wrong. Instead of using good variable names and good comments. It was like
int ohgodthecolors = 4;
String AHHAHHahahahwahhh = "Name of person."; //IT BURNS!
/*OH GOD!! OH GOD!! THE INTENSITY>>?*/
while(keepItAWAY && itWILLKILLMEE= 4)
/*THE REAPER OF FLESH IS HERE! SAVE ME!*/
and etc etc.
The worst part about it is that the code was so well written and it was stupidly fast. We couldn't throw it away. So it's now in the trunk. This guy was great but so much of his code was unreadable. That and he punched the CEO in the face.
Flex is fucking horrible and has dozens of limitations that keep destroying everything we attempt. Hopefully it will be deprecated by next year.
Silverlight > Flash btw

The entire Adobe web actionscript thing should be deprecated very soon.
I have no real opinion on Silverlight but HTML5 should deprecate all single-platform, proprietary web framework things.

HTML5
At least 3 years away. Til then we have to put up with flash :(
HTML 5 is the future and flash seriously needs to die. Web video needs to be able to be viewed on from the simple garden rock to the world's fastest supercomputer.

I hope you are right, however I am not taking your word for it. I use Linux, and while Moonlight is available, 100% of sites I have found that use Silverlight actually check to ensure that it is actually MS Silverlight in use; reasonable facsimiles need not apply. By the time this nonsense is over, so will Flash and all flash-like things, owing to HTML5, WebGL &c.
