6 AM is too early to be coming across code like this…lol. Terrifying this person is ultimately processing credit cards.

Wow. I wonder how many things are "wrong" with this. I particularly love the use of

<cfoutput>

and pound-signs in this. And tags.

I just don't understand the requirement of getting the first or last letter in UCASE from a static string. WTF? ... just put T ? or Y?

I think they thought "today" would magically resolve to - eg - 2022-02-25. Or they had guidance from elsewhere (like a Jira ticket etc) saying "take the first and last character from today [implied: today's date] [because reasons]", and they were too hopeless to work that out.

At least the value of

y

is Y. You can almost pretend it's a reasonable variable name.

Oh man, I think I need a drink after that one... Forget the coffee, break out the hard stuff!

It's not even the worst thing here but using a capital letter for the start of every function except

ucase

is really hurting my feelings 😂
