Fractally Crap
A Fractal is "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be subdivided in parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole" -- Wikipedia - Fractal

Fractally Crap - a system where any piece, when looked at individually, is every bit as broken, badly planned and undocumented as the rest.

And yes, I know that if you pile rubbish on rubbish then you get... (strangely enough) rubbish but you can normally find the occasional little gem or ray of sunshine. Not this month. An often seen symptom is that every RT ticket you close requires three more be opened for new issues problems challenges that arose while fixing the first. And no, this rabbit hole doesn't have a bottom.

Not my best fortnight ever. Roll on the Nordic Perl Workshop!
