How To Write Unmaintainable Code

[Alain Verleyen]

I found this remarkable document (attached too). We can all learn from it ! It's always possible to write worst code.

I particularly enjoy this recommendation :

Since the computer ignores comments and documentation, you can lie outrageously and do everything in your power to befuddle the poor maintenance programmer.

Lie in the comments : You don't have to actively lie, just fail to keep comments as up to date with the code.

Good reading.

Are there any tests or certification authorities for this development style ? :)

Especially on point (for MTx) is "For example,use the German punkt for point."
