By (my) definition, professional programmers do not produce sloppy code. They may be getting paid for it, and even making a living on it, but they are neither professional or, IMHO, programmers. I have a name for them, but this is a nice family-friendly site.

I see this all the time, and share your frustration.

When I write code, there are no errors, so I don't need error handlers.

(believe me? I thought not)

I've actually talked to people who believe that.

JBot, I totally agree with your rant.

PHP Code:


			
// Or when programmers write like entire programs on a single line...
if (isset($display_page) && $display_page != NULL || !(thisFunction() && is_numeric($another_variable)) { echo "<html><head><title>Meeting: ".$meeting."</title></head><body><h1>".$meeting."<p>Time: " . date("H:i:s l, j F, Y", strtotime($date.' '.$time)) . "</p><p>Meeting agenda:".str_replace("\"","&quot;",str_replace("'","'",strip_tags(nl2br($_POST['agenda']),'<p><a><b><i><h1><h2><pre><ul><li><br>')))."</p></body></html>"; } else { echo "This is not an HTML page"; $display_page++; } // I cringe after writing random code that bad...

EDIT:

Code:

// Or when
     if (....) {
the indenting;
                    is not uniform;
     } else if (
     the brackets &&
           parenthesis
 )
{              follow no;
       sort of discernible;
   logic;  
                                 or rational thought;
     is_if->they_are_testing();
                     the lenient w h  i   te s  p a    c   i n g rules;
  of           the           compiler;
}
