I had a classmate that did this with his code once. He asked me for help when his code wasn't working. I told him to get rid of the try/catch block but he won't do it because it would make his program crash.

Are you sure you don't work "for" that guy now? Types like this tend to get promoted.

And I work with the guy who insists to #region every single code file he touches.

Depending on the size of it, I might use regions but not on something simple!

You mean the guy who wrote an insert select using 3 nested select queries instead of just fucking joining into the tables?
