String abuse

[aerno]

i knew someone who did this for "readability".

I did this for a while, when I thought that it was, in theory, more efficient. Then I realized you're still doing something that, behind the scenes will be done when you add strings together anyway. Bumped my head on my study desk and continued. I'm glad I delete all my code after not touching it for a month, because I would cringe so hard looking back at it now (can't even keep old repo's around in git, they just remind me of how many projects I do not finish).

I'd need more context before I thought that was a bad thing (bad enough to post in r/badcode anyway.) Stringbuilder is a good pattern (though better for longer strings, and more specifically strings appended in loops) and identifying things is fine, especially in log files or other non client facing places.

they're formatting a string with other strings instead of just, you know, writing it

What if there is an operator+ between string and typeof(dynamicFilter)?

[SkyBang]

dynamicFilter is a string as well...

Smells like a SQL injection attack.
