Nightly coding session in Tuscany drinking good Chianti! That's the highest point of my peacefulness in the last year...there is something wrong in our job/passion.

Question:
trying to innovate your city...do you think it would be a good idea to bring together programmers for a common goal? what kind of projects would you build for your city?

I spent my last 2 months refactoring a crazy panel.
No one understood how that panel was working...I was feeling like the technological version of the chimney sweep.
I could almost breathe frustration.

So... what's your worst experience about refactoring old crazy codes?

Today I spent almost an hour trying to figure out why something like this was not working....the solution?
Just declaring first the itemLabel attribute and then itemValue....WTF?!?! JSF can be powerfull...but some times it does not make any ducking sense.
