Should I quit this job ;-))

I am a big fan of the Daily WTF or as they called themselves the Curious Perversions in Information Technology. A great collection of "human" errors!

I think the WTF today is the cream of the cream! Mike Hartnagel has been unfortunated to accept a developer job in a company where one his first task was to create some overloading methods to simplify this monstruosity :-)

One advice, quit the job immediately!
