Well, at least you HAVE a flow chart. I got nothing but source code. I think I need a new job title: Software Archaeologist.

RE: Recursive javascript security
Then they escaped some code, making it virtually indecipherable (LOL); unless, of course, you have to deal with this sort of thing on a daily basis & you've written a handy utility:

RE: Just "WOW"
Welcome, anmisccali! Yep, there are a few regulars on here who are, erm, "comedically challenged", shall we say. Don't know why they spend so much time on a humor site when they lack a sense of humor. (Actually, maybe they don't even see TDWTF as a "humor site" at all...) Anyway, welcome. ;-)

RE: Be careful what you use IE for
It's funny; thanks for posting, OP! (We're not all dicks.)

Ok, fine and well, but when will the mere mortals realize that being a programmer does not involve knowing Microsoft Office features???!! Drives me nuts!
... What's worse is when they implicitly blame you for some crazy feature of Microsoft Office. Ever had to reply with "well, don't yell at me, I didn't write this code!" ?

RE: Explaining WTF Work to Non-Programmers
OK I've got one. You've been tasked with developing a replacement to an antiquated 1968 Ford Mustang. Your boss has "the basic skeleton" done; it's a cute little skateboard. Your job is to figure out "what's missing" from the skateboard, and enhance it until it can take the place of the Mustang.
