Bad Code Offset
« on: January 25, 2010, 09:54 AM »
Since the idea of donations is central to this site, I wanted to share The Bad Code Offset project with my fellow coders and software architects.
This was the brain-child of Alex who operates The Daily WTF*

Although a bit tongue-in-cheek, the real mission of The Bad Code Offset is to provide incentives to those who write outstanding software code.  It is not possible to correct or erradicate poor programming practices.  We cannot 'cure the disease' of bad software design.  But, in a bit of "Pay it Forward" manner, we help support Open-Source projects that deserve recognition.

I am a proud member and encourage those here who (like me) are gainfully employed as software developers to consider helping out.

*If you are unaware of TheDailyWTF I am very pleased to have introduced you to it.  It is part of my daily list of sites to view.

Note The Daily WTF link is incorrect, it's missing the 'the' :)

Don't you need a SLOC for that since you didn't open your tag?
