where in the code is carmen sandiego

[denise]

in preparation for producing a "where in the hell does that bit of code live?" type document: what's the stuff that you've had a hell of a time finding in the code, either recently or when you first got started?

like, I always have to go searching for where the heck the control strip is generated from (answer: cgi-bin/LJ/Web.pm) and I usually lose a ton of the widgets. that kind of thing!

"Where the fuck's the CSS kept?" was one that came up this week!

In the CSS corner, obviously.

(No one puts CSS in the corner!)

Not me, but I know S2 styles comes up all the time! [ hopefully we will be moving those somewhere sane soon ]

-- One thing that comes up quite often for me: Hmm. Is this in TT or not? Oh what's the name for the TT folder again? *thinks* views. And where is views again? Well it definitely isn't /view in /htdocs...

-- jquery.js which is in /js vs jquery.js which is in /js/jquery

-- css. because there isn't any css folder.

-- stuff in /cgi-bin/LJ vs stuff in /cgi-bin/DW

-- I don't know what a widget is but when in doubt try there. :)

Anything involving Javascript tends to confuse the hell out of me. Well, Javascript in general confuses me, but before I can even be confused by the code I am usually confused by where it is and how it is called.

Anything involving workers can also be a bit of a head-scratcher.
