void ShowElement(char *elementName)
{
std::string name(elementName);
if (!name.empty())
{
InitElement(name.c_str());
}
}
It was almost literally like that, with the std::string used nowhere else.
This kind of ignorance is why I bitch constantly, although I try not to be a negative person. Sometimes I wonder if I’m just super-negative and sensitive but I don’t think so since I never encountered these kind of problems dealing with other programmers before starting this company.
One reply on “The morons I fire”
Just imagine that the moron who wrote that code is retarded. By “retarded” I mean mentally impaired which, considering the poor quality of that code, he probably is to some degree. Once you take that viewpoint, it’s much easier to calmly send him on his way because there’s no point in getting mad at someone who’s retarded – it’s a fundamental part of who they are. But of course you can’t work with such a person, so you wash your hands of them and move on, a little wiser than before, and better able avoid such people in the future.
