The Daily WTF (also called Worse Than Failure from February to December 2007) is a humorous blog dedicated to "Curious Perversions in Information Technology". The blog, run by Alex Papadimoulis, "offers living examples of code that invites the exclamation ‘WTF!?'" (What The Fuck!?) 〔(ACM Queue vol. 3, no. 6 - July/August 2005 )〕 and "recounts tales of disastrous development, from project management gone spectacularly bad to inexplicable coding choices."〔“(Cool Developer Tricks: Coding Catastrophes )”, Redmond Developer News, April 15, 2007〕 In addition to horror stories, The Daily WTF "serve() as () repositor() of knowledge and discussion forums for inquisitive web designers and developers"〔(Web Development Resources Websites - 2006 )〕 and has introduced several anti-patterns, including Softcoding,〔(Soft Coding )〕 the Inner-Platform Effect,〔(The Inner-Platform Effect )〕 and IHBLRIA〔()〕 (Invented Here But Let's Reinvent It Anyway). The site also has an associated "Edition Française", a French-language edition headed up by Jocelyn Demoy, launched in March 2008,〔(Announcement: WTF in Français ) (Alex Papadimoulis, ''The Daily WTF'', 2008-03-26)〕 as well as a Polish edition. ==History== The website was started on 17 May 2004, when Papadimoulis posted an entry entitled "Your Daily Cup of WTF" on his blog as a means of simply complaining about the quality of development at his then current employer.〔(Your Daily Cup of WTF ) (Alex Papadimoulis' .NET Blog, 17 May 2004)〕 On his third such post, a reader of his blog suggested that he start a new website dedicated exclusively to such humorous "bad code" postings.〔(Comment on Papadimoulis’s Blog suggesting to start a new site )〕 A few days later, he registered TheDailyWTF.com domain name and began posting stories from readers of the site. The content of the site kept evolving, and the body of articles was split into several columns. On 2 November 2006 Papadimoulis starting running code samples as articles entitled the "Code Snippets of the Day", "CodeSOD" for short. Originally edited by Tim Gallagher, the column was taken over by Derrick Pallas (now the sole editor of CodeSOD) as well as Devin Moore and Mike Nuss on 2 January 2007. On 12 February 2007 Jake Vinson started a new column, "Error'd", based on the old monthly series "Pop-Up Potpourri". The site was renamed to "Worse Than Failure" on 24 February 2007 because "'Daily' and 'What The F *' didn’t quite describe it anymore". Papadimoulis also did not enjoy explaining the meaning "WTF" to people unfamiliar to the phrase, as it contains profanity.〔(Announcement: Website.RenameTo(“Worse Than Failure”) )〕 This was not without controversy, and some readers threatened to stop reading the site because of this.〔( Comment On Announcement: Website.RenameTo(“Worse Than Failure”) )〕 The change was reverted on December 12, 2007,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Announcement-A-New,-New,-New-Name!.aspx )〕 after a short and tongue-in-cheek stint as "The Daily Worse Than Failure".〔(Announcement: 2007 Survey Results & Site Changes - The Daily WTF )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Daily WTF」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
