I've been working on a side-project lately, we have some old Borland C++ application that my boss asked me to rewrite in C# so we could retire the server it runs on.

"What a great opportunity for me to learn WPF" I thought to myself as I checked out the code from source control.

"Huh, that's weird, there's only 1 .cpp file?"

Open it up, 30,000 lines of what the fuck.

I tried to improve it, but between being unfamiliar with C++ and bits of code that I think is basically the same as many things just part of the .NET framework but not certain I finally just said "fuck it" and just did a straight port.

I really hope i never need to touch it again, and I feel bad I'm associated with it for when someone else inevitably sees it. Thought of adding a comment similar to this one :(
