lol..Always advice your ''dudes'' to comment every step in their code (not neccesarily every line)...it makes life easier...

I assume that u are carrying out some form of code maintenance. Well in my opinion it would be a wise idea to use the opportunity to refactor the code if possible to improve modifiability and testability.

Very, very painful! Don't know a better way to torture a dev.

Probably all programmers should leave a forwarding address in their code so we know where to send the bomb when they leave crappy code behind.
