I hate you all!

Yes you, you who has been crying for code samples on MSDN. "Need moar codz0r snippitz!!1LOL!" you were whining like a neocon about taxes1). And I hate you precicely because, you know, you got what you wanted. And you fully deserve it. Now what does that give us? Big blobs of code in seventy2) languages and a note that you can't do that in XML, code that is out of context, starting somewhere, maundering through some obscure calls and ending up nowhere, barely passing the function you are interested in like an express train rushing through a rural station 3). They are showing how, but not why, often the code - isolated as it is - doesn't work on it's own, but no mention where to put it. Well, I can tell you where to put it!4) Stanislaw Lem one complained that we teach literature in the same way someone tries to teach chess by making his students watch a seleciton of excellent matches. Well, at least they were excellent Back in my days5) we had things called verbal descriptions, that might go like this: "to achieve X, implement interface IY, and pass it to the LetMeIn() method on the Z instance that is passed to the SurpriseInit() method of your object." Now that's probably all ubintelligible to you copypastedontwannaunderstanders, but that's your fault, not mine, but I have to suffer. You know what? Reading code sucks. But you all knew that. This whole fascist brougha about formatting, coding standards, comments, consistency, descriptive variable naming, structuring, information hiding and whatnot is for just one single reason: Everybody hates reading someone elses code. And what were you doing? "Ohh, maintaining this payroll application consisting of five millions of lines of code and a metric ton of regular expressions turned my tender appreciation for reading shitty code from a tine transparent blossom in a full ripe thorny fruit, please give me more!" :mad: 1) Balancing quote making fun of liberals available on request at no extra charge. 2) amount as perceived by the author in his current state of mind 3) this analogy can be most fully appreciated in countries where express trains actually do rush through rural stations 4) Additional information available on request. Not available to minors. photo ID required. 5) Yeah, really funny. Now give back that hearing aid, you whippersnapper!

Take a deep breath. Now, put the corkscrew down and step away from the chair - that's all we ask. The helicopter is on its way, and the pilot has been prepped to fly you to that "special" island that you're interested in.
