Understanding

May 8, 2009 by Michael

I’d love to understand what makes people create abominations such as this:

if((foo ? !bar : true))
    if(!somethingelse)
        dosomething()

I don’t want to judge anyone, the thing actually worked, but i really want to understand why people don’t see that this is crap. I’m really aware of the fact, that things tends to organically grow, but how can it be achieved to raise awareness to this fact? I mean, i’m probably only a not-totally-bad engineer, but i see things that will break or are just ugly as hell and i want my colleagues to be more aware of pitfalls.

Would make life much easier and probably more conflict free.
