Can't code for shit.com is the place I use to grumble about badly written software and code in the hope that those responsible for making me take the time out of my like to document their shitness learn from their mistakes, fix their code and never repeat them so that no-one else ever has to suffer the pain they inflicted on me! If you have suffered at the hands of a n00b developer then please share your experiance with us!
