Marmite

God, I love Marmite! I have a whole unopened jar of it in the cupboard. But Marmite in our house is like a weapon of mass destruction. My wife hates it, and I hate Pringles Sour Cream and Chive flavour - which she has an unopened tube of. So we're here with our respective foodstuffs staring each other down in a Mexican standoff like a couple of superpowers in a Mutually Assured Destruction nuclear stalemate. Damn commie wife.

Shitty code I encounter every fucking day of my life #1

I found this in the codebase today.


bool threeDSAuth = false;
if (acquirerReference != null
     && acquirerReference.TransactionType == TransactionType.ThreeDSEnrollCheck)
{
   threeDSAuth = true;
}


I fucking despair.
