Worse Than Failure, originally known as The Daily WTF, is a humorous blog dedicated to "Curious Perversions in Information Technology". The blog, run by Alex Papadimoulis, features a new article, or "WTF", every business day. The WTFs generally poke fun at poorly written computer code, poorly designed computer applications, and ignorant programmers or management, and are submitted by people who suffered through the issue personally, frequently with names changed.
History
On 2004 May 17, Papadimoulis posted an entry entitled Your Daily Cup of WTF[1] on his blog as a means of simply complaining about the quality of development at his then current employer. On his third such post, a reader of his blog suggested that he start a new website dedicated exclusively to such humorous "bad code" postings[2]. A few days later, he registered TheDailyWTF.com domain name and began posting stories from readers of the site.
In late 2006, Alex starting running code samples as articles entitled the Code Snippets of the Day, CodeSOD for short. Originally edited by Tim Gallagher, the column was taken over by Derrick Pallas, Devin Moore and Mike Nuss on January 2, 2007. In February, Jake Vinson started a new column, Error'd.
On February 24, 2007, the site was renamed to Worse Than Failure. [3]
