Haven't we all frowned upon picking on females in tech industry just yesterday?! It is NOT okay to wildly imply that the author of this code is of certain age and gender.

EDIT: it was shown by the comment below that it was actually written by someone with a popular Polish female name. I was shaken by the article yesterday and thus oversensitive. Sorry about that.

Well, the implications are pretty well founded:

- the binary has strings like `C:\Users\Agnieszka\...\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\Kalkulator1`. Agnieszka is a female Polish name -> the programmer is female. Although nobody really is using this as a discussion point anywhere, but hey, the fact is there if it's interesting to you.

- the code logic and layout is pretty convoluted and looks duct taped together, even considering it's decompiled from binary form -> the author is probably young and inexperienced, and/or this was extremely rushed.

Also, I'm not realy sure where anyone is “picking on females” here.

I don't know, I wouldn't judge a decompiled code.

Can you give a few examples why is it so bad?

[q3k]

Keep in mind this is decompiled from IL, so the class/method/object mapping and naming remains from the original binary.

Here are a few, in my opinion, ugly examples:

https://github.com/wybory2014/Kalkulator1/blob/master/Kalkul... and https://github.com/wybory2014/Kalkulator1/blob/master/Kalkul... and a few more instances of basically the same logic, copy-pasted (correct me if this might have been optimized from source code, as I'm a reverse engineer and not a C# programmer - but I'm pretty sure it's not)

https://github.com/wybory2014/Kalkulator1/blob/master/Kalkul...

https://github.com/wybory2014/Kalkulator1/blob/master/Kalkul...

https://github.com/wybory2014/Kalkulator1/blob/master/Kalkul...

https://github.com/wybory2014/Kalkulator1/blob/master/Kalkul... and string-based HTML generation in general. Oh, and this method in general. It doesn't even fit on my screen without scrolling to the right.

I'm not saying it's a goldmine of DailyWTF-worth content - but it's still pretty bad. In general, it doesn't really follow any MVC-separation, the naming is arbitraty at best (and dictated by the IDE at worst - Kalkulator1, anyone?), and DRY principles are vastly ignored.

What is more, it is possible to find an Agnieszka working at Nabino through a Polish LinkedIn clone...

[Reef]

I was not aware of those paths. I give up.

At least she used a fairly recent version Visual Studio...

See, this is the kind of problem I have with feminism (and a few other things). It was just a feature of the language, exhibited heavily by most slavic languages (which have much richer grammars than English f. eg.) and thus impacting thought process, yet it was your a natural response to "defend the beatnen".

If you position yourself as a victim, don't be surprised when you are treated this way.

[xamebax]

Totally agree. That was my first reaction after reading this. Not cool.
