The daily WTF Greatest Hits I

Posted by Jorge Bernal March 17, 2006

Lately, I’ve been hooked on The daily WTF as they provide creepy stories of the modern “professional” software [under]development.

But today, I’ve found the #1:

From the programmer made famous by tblCalendar and the query string parameter admin=false comes what I think is the most creatively stupid implementation of a test environment ever.

The final lines made me feel the actual pain…

Having personally seen this system, I want to share a fun little fact about it. It requires that, among a handful of other desktop applications, Adobe Indesign is installed on the web server. I’ll leave it to your imagination as to what it could possibly require that for and the number of seconds between each interval that it opens and closes it.

So I proudly present: The Developmestuction Environment
