About AskAmit

At my previous work and here also, I and coworkers had an internal subject [AskAmit] for sharing shitty code (which we find around or even discover in inherited projects) among us.

This continued in the current company - like for example this one (not exact reproduction, but still) in Java (trully existing code at my present company ) – test if a boolean variable is true or false:

Code:

if (boolean_var.toString.length() == 4)
{
      // True, do the True actions
}
else If (boolean_var.toString.length() == 5)
{
      // False, do the False actions
}
else
{
      // Ummm, raise processor fault?
}

The [AskAmit] name was coming from Sun’s JMF (Java Media Foundation) incredible naive line at those times (2002) that made the framework buggy enough (though it was a good concept):

jmf-2_1_1e-scsl-src/src/share/com/sun/media/util/Registry.java
if (file.length() == 0) { // TODO: Ask AMITH if you need this

Seems like [AskAmit] kind-of groups grow everywhere, so it reached to a critical level called GovnoKod (ShittyCode) – highly recommended reading not to step on the shitty paths of programming
