To he who wrote the java programs I have to maintain:

• I curse your name 10 times daily.
• I curse you for having different stuff checked in to version control than is actually in production.
• I curse you for inventing your own stupid inscrutable templating system.
• I curse you for not leaving any comments in your code.
• I curse you for leaving some parts of your application calling a test database and others calling a production database.
• I curse you for naming methods f2, f3, f4, f5, f6, f7, f8, f9 etc but also for having a method named fl which in my editor is indistinguishable from f1
• I curse you for the critical javascript functions called blah and blah2.
• I curse you for leaving me a java class with 3000 lines.
• I curse you for naming things ShowBean and MenuBean when they aren't really beans at all.
