How to write unmaintainable code
How to write unmaintainable code
Amusing, and very in-depth. There’s a great deal about good coding practices written here, just in the inverse.

Entertaining spoof of Google. Cheered me up when I read it!
Googlewhack
British author Dave Gorman, fresh from his winning a bet to find 36 other people called Dave Gorman, sat down to write a novel, and instead, found that his website contained a Googlewhack.
The site and the book (“Dave Gorman’s Googlewhack Adventure”) describe what a Googlewhack is in quite some detail. Essentially, it’s inputting two search terms (not in quotes) to Google, which yield exactly one result.
Two other points to note:
- The words must be underlined (which confirms that they are words recognised in dictionary.com).
- The results page must not be a dictionary or wordlist itself.
Some current whacks featuring on the Whack stack are:
isopropanol warthog; subcutaneously telephonist; bathysphere transmogrification
So, armed with only a degree in linguistics, a passion for language, a quiet night at work, and access to Google, I thought I’d see what I could come up with.
