I saw another post and this got me thinking.
Who is the worst programmer you knew?
I worked with this one guy, the program was all finished and his job was to start the machine up. There was a NO contact that was not making. He couldn't figure it out so he removed the contact. Well this caused another problem and and he kept bumbling through the program, removing contacts or reversing contacts here and there till he finally had the whole program screwed up. He called me over after working on it for a day or so and I was somewhat shocked when I looked at what he had done. We finally re-downloaded the original and then I saw the problem with the NO contact, the limit switch needed to be adjusted.
The sad thing is that he had been programming for a few years going from job to job.
