Exactly these codes will end up at the Daily WTF

I've seen applications on a daily basis where they followed Alex' advice, like, they actually forked an application instead of providing clever extensibility, ending up with managing two full applications for more than 10 years, where one even had to stay in an unsupported platform. I see code without any design patterns or config files.
The only reason those codes didn't end up at Daily WTF is usually NDA. A full team of outsourcing company can laugh at you just before committing such errors themselves.
So, remember: that f.ing dumbass who did that crap and can't code, in the eyes of your project's next maintainer (or the first one who doesn't know you) is you!
