The fuck did I just read.

On a side note, I actually feel really bad. I mean I think we all wrote rediculous verbose shit when we started out.

Hope that guy learns how to code for real and doesn't end up quitting.

I found some beautifully terrible JS code used by the state of Washington for its medical marijuana tracking system.

Apparently accessing the site via SSL doesn't work properly, so the login page just displays some fancy techwords to trick non-computer-savvy people into believing they're safe (while actually doing nothing).

The myVariables are pretty nice too.
