If the magic cleanup button makes your code look better, it's probably time to re-think your coding p...

From very early in the thread

N = [S*S*T/(D*P)] + 1

I actually had that equasion on my white board and discovered a way to create bug-free code..... 

"Produce no code"  I will not attribute that to the original author for various reasons.

"Why" questions are the hardest to answer but most enlightening.

I don't want you to go out of business for not writing code so I will reveal my solution to this problem. All you need to do is develop your application and run this VI to fix your bugs.

I've had this in my signature for a while, but didn't know there was a thread like this for it!

I thought of this in reference to people coding complicated, roundabout ways of passing data around (usually involving too many variables) or just not cleaning up their wires.

I would do this on purpose to my mom as a prank when I was younger.  I'd press print screen, paste it into MSPaint, then remove the tools bar, and menu bar and make it full screen.  Then set the real task bar to auto-hide.  The result was my mother wondering why her mouse turned into a pencil, and then would start drawing on the screenshot.

Similarly, I used to take a screenshot of the desktop and set it as the background, move all of the icons somewhere else, hide the toolbar, and watch my dad try to figure out why the computer was frozen even after a restart.

Just came up with a new one:

Express VIs will get you started, but don't expect to go far with them

How about "Express VIs equals LabVIEW Lite"?
