html Infected Code Repository: Symptoms

Infected Code Repository: Symptoms

Here are the symptoms you're likely experiencing:

Your code smells like rotting garbage
Your compiler is crying in the corner, begging for mercy
Your users have started wearing hazmat suits to interact with your application
Your codebase has grown sentient and is now demanding more coffee breaks
The "fix-it-in-ten-minutes-or-less" timer has started ticking away with increasing urgency

Known Causes:

(Or so we think)

Code Snippets:

We've collected some code snippets that might help you identify the source of the problem:

            if (variable = 5) {
                print("I have a feeling of impending doom")
            }

            for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
                do_something_really_really_really_long_and_complicated()
            }

What to Do:

When in doubt, just delete everything and start fresh. It's not like anyone will notice or anything.

Or, if you're feeling adventurous:

Try Advanced Tactic 1: The Nuclear Option, where you just nuke the entire codebase and rebuild from scratch. Good luck, and may the code odds be ever in your favor.
