Weird exceptions
September 19th, 2005
I once encountered this one, too. Talking to the guy who wrote it, he said "it was known to be faster, and even recommended by Sun itself". End of conversation, of course. I tend to agree with the statement I read some time ago: "'best practices' considered harmful" (or something similar) (extra brownie points for who can get me the right link).
PS: The guy's contract was not prolonged.
Update: Joseph gets the brownies: this is the article I was referring to. Thank you, Joseph.
