I enjoy programming in c++ because when I actually manage to do something useful with that language, I feel like a goddamn genius

This is me and C#. Hobby programming is all I end up doing since my very important CJ work doesn't have time for any code jibba jabba. Making little windows programs that automate tedious tasks helps me not top myself for one more day.

Thanks for being kinda handy, cee sharp.

we encounter so much mediocrity in our day to day lives that it infuriates and depresses us that people who do not put in a sincere effort can be rewarded as well or even better than us. we have to accept that our reward for hard work and persistence is the knowledge that we took the more difficult path and succeeded.

only then will you find happiness and comfort.

but first...

I would be so amazed to have to maintain code like that that I might just silently deal with it, in a strange mix of hatred and respect.

then implement something with terrible design. if u can tell that ur doing something bad thats good enough for a babby dev. u get better with practice but u DONT get better from reading a text on UML and making diagrams for a month

WHAT??? son, you better see me after class.



heh, school programming is some seriously misleading stuff. oh well, it has its purpose but it's been a lot of fun to just strike out on my own and try and build stuff in a new language. i know i don't know Good Practices in there but thanks to visual studio and online docs holing my hand i can build little dumb apps in c# and that's pretty neat.

no, libraries are what define us as people. If we don't use the hip new ones we arent' cool. Sulk is right to check with this thread before using any framework or library. We are the arbiters of lovely code.

i'm teaching myself some python to automate a little task at home. i hope this isn't offensive to the code gods. :ohdear:
