Recent Bring Your Own Code

The goal of BYOC is simple: provide an outlet for you, the enquiring software developer, to sharpen your programming skills on a problem a bit more interesting than the normal, boring stuff. That, and to put your code where you mouth is, so to say.

The Disgruntled Bomb

by in Bring Your Own Code on

It's been quite a while since the last Bring Your Own Code. It's mostly because I haven't thought of any coding quandaries that fit in the "totally fun and doable over a quick break" difficulty; everything has been either hello world easy or graduate-level comp sci homework hard. If you've got any ideas, please do send them to me.

That said, today's BYOC is a little bit different than the previous ones. It was inspired by a submission from Mårten Rånge, who wrote "rumor has it that a disgruntled employee once left #define true false in a random header file in the codebase. Given our codebase, that would be a lot harder to debug than one might think."
