Taking to heart their lecturers exhortation to ensure they delete all the widgets that had been new’d, they set about “fixing” the “errors” in the codebase where it closed down without formally releasing all the widgets. Net result? A slew of complaints from the end users that now, when they click exit, the app sits there for “like, 5 minutes” and then shuts down, whereas before it just closed “straight away”. So, what happened here is that the “improved” code was now spending a significant time (not 5 minutes, but still noticeable) working it’s way through deleting everything, whereas previously it was simply exiting and allowing the OS to reap the released memory automatically. The student was made to take out the improvements, and was enlightened.
