Back in 2008, I had a colleague who often smiles and giggles while looking at the screen.

Sounds normal yeah? Except there's nothing on the screen but Eclipse, a Java IDE.

    Never seen some snippet of code that was so bad you had to giggle?

    Or a funny/stupid comment, I do this also :D

    I sometimes laugh about a mistake I just made that was dumb.

    Sounds like he went mad, which is entirely plausible if he was using Eclipse all the time.

    @hrombach That happened to me too! It was so bad that I had to take a break since it was too hilarious. Then I rewrote that part and at the next release we had 30x performance boost on that functionality (it even had a loading bar with it)

    @devilirium we have one dev on our team who does database requests in PHP loops. Like she would do a foreach and each iteration would send a query to DB.

    Just, what.

    @hrombach Now that you've mentioned it
    I have to agree.

    In my language there is an idiom roughly translated as "Laughing to my situation that actually needs to be cried about". Maybe it's because he was using java...

    @hrombach That code done exactly that! On thousands of entities times two + constant m :D Does that girl still works there? You should have a talk with her :D

    @devilirium we have, she still does it. QA just looks for it and fixes it now..

    My boss insists we can't afford to sack her. ;)

    @hrombach Too bad mate ;D I would fire devs like this without much thinking.
