Ok, after delving into an application of my employer who shall remain nameless I found my employer guilty of the following charges:
1) Using a 5100 count directory structure with identical CF content in each one (did it ever occur to him that a database with 5100 records might be better than just putting each record with web page info in a different directory?) 2) Using <CFAPPLICATION> in many different places in the code, as to completely confuse me as to which set of session variables that the application is using at any time (every new application=new set of session variables, and I didn't know that <CFAPPLICATION> could run outside of application.cfm anyways). 3) Somehow managing to use Macromedia Ultradev to manage all this code as noticed by all the MM_ variables (I didn't kow Ultradev could produce code this obfuscated), of course this only adds further confusion to those who have never used Ultradev 4) and on and on and on...more details as they develop But in looking at this complicated and tough to manage code I had to think that some developer must have tried REALLY hard to build something this bad, even when I was new I don't think I did any of these offenses. So I pronounce this anonymous developer guilty and I make his sentence an eternity of having an infinite loop run over a CFMAIL tag with his email address there :-) you think I'm being to mean? Too nice?? Your thoughts??? Your examples of completely obfuscated code??? But actually I should take this to heart, fixing all this will keep me employed a long long time....
