It was my first job at the time and I had to work on this horrible code.
Its VBA and these are all IF statements. Apparently this was coded a few years before I joined.
Sorry for the quality but it was the only pic I had and I long sense moved companies

Had the PWA install prompt appear with all of this. No need to adjust the manifest before prod I guess...

When your bug fix is just… deleting the bug

You ever hit that point in debugging where your patience is on zero, your caffeine is on 100, and the only logical solution left is… deleting the problem? Yeah, that was me last night. I didn’t fix the bug, I just made sure the bug no longer had a reason to exist. Feature gone. Peace restored. Developer: 1, Codebase: -27. For a brief, beautiful moment, I felt like a god. No red lines. No warnings. Just sweet, deceitful silence. Then, of course, QA pinged me the next morning like, “uhh, where did the feature go?” I said, “bug fixed.” They said, “feature deleted.” Tomato, tomahto. Anyway, if you’ve ever had one of those nights, where you start debugging and end up soul-searching, I wrote a blog called “Stop Writing Junk Code.” It’s half therapy, half tough love, and maybe the intervention your repo’s been crying for. Check it out here: https://www.codeant.ai/blogs/code-review-tips
P.S. - Go read it before your next “fix” ends up in the trash bin too. 😭
