@WhAtEvErYoUmEaN Y U NO FUN?
when your code is a mess but everything work out in the end
When you keep getting +1s on a rant you posted a month ago.
A year ago i made a binary which very quickly checks all stuff we normally check on customers PCs manually via a few WMI queries.
It worked well on 3 dev machines, so i went to my department lead, told him to execute it and the fucking thing just spews WMI errors left and right.
Even though it showed us that some very low level stuff in his Windows installation was broken it was just embarrassing as hell.
Shortly after I had all checks fitted with a secondary method in case WMI fails.
