Frightening Codeproject experience
-
I saw that one of the "articles needing approval" was titled "Colorbar", so I thought I'd look at it, since some of my recent articles involved gradient color controls. I was halfway through it when I realized it was written in VB. :wtf: I'm going for a shower.
Best wishes, Hans

Because it allows wanna be programmers to program which usually results in terrible code practices. :doh: It is kind of like COBOL. If you are a programmer you can produce some efficient code. If you are a pretend programmer you can produce really bad code and think it is good just because it works for now, but just wait until the code has to be maintained. :rolleyes:

JimmyRopes"Because it allows wanna be C#, C++, C programmers to think they program which usually results in terrible code practices, yet the belief they are the know all gods of programming. It is kind of like COBOL. If you are a programmer you can produce some efficient code. If you are a pretend C#, C++, C programmer you can produce really bad code and think it is good just because it works for now, but just wait until the code has to be maintained which will be after the programmer developer code god leaves." Fixed. :|

Virtual Barfic (VB for short) doesn't kill people. Psychopaths who allow Virtual Barfic "code" in the same time zone as safety-critical software kill people. All Redmond gets out of it is the license fees - for VB and the Windows/Office licenses the mortuaries buy to "help" run their business. And then someone starts playing around with VB to scratch an itch...and the cycle is complete. Joe: "Friends don't let friends write bad VB code." Jim: "That's redundant!' Bob: "That's right! And you *absolutely* don't want your enemies doing VB either - the meltdown might spill on you!" My coat? It's the one with the IBM BAL Green Card sticking out of the pocket.... thanks!
