Lucas Ward on Velocity Anchors:
WTF?
That’s the sound your developer makes when they are looking at a piece of code and can’t figure out what it’s doing. it might be a bug fix or a new feature or whatever. The bottom line is that they’re trying to get something done, but instead they spend hours digging through file after file trying to figure out why there are 7 variables named ‘chart’ that all mean completely different things depending upon which part of the application they’re used in. It’s a simple equation. The number of WTFs is inversely proportional to developer productivity. We could probably even make a Sonar widget for it.
