Coding - How Not To.

An interesting article on how to be a worse programmer; a sort of guide on how to use the worst elements of programming in your own programs. http://css.dzone.com/articles/how-be-worse-programmer[^]
There is only one satisfying way to boot a computer.
Personally I can't stand articles that try and teach you how to be good by being sarcastic and negative. All they do is list things that are bad without giving you reasons and context for why it's bad, and a better option on how to do it better.

And some of the practices are not always bad. Not creating pseudo code and a diagram, for example, can be quite appropriate for small tasks.

Personally, I don't think the author of the article was trying to teach correct programming standards; merely pointing out that if your not careful, it's easy to be a bad programmer. And i'm sure all of you software guys out there have come across examples of bad programming practice where you have gone 'Oh my god, what was he thinking when he wrote this.' Hell, CP even has a section for it. As he states near the begining of the article "You always have a choice: you can do the right thing, or becoming instantly a worse programmer by continuing doing what you know will slow down you [SIC](Uncle Bob). Here's a guide on how to pursue the latter hypothesis, hoping that it won't be followed by any of us..."

You seem to forget about my fondess for firearms, and more importantly, my eagerness to use them. We need a rambo smilie.

Why is common sense not common? Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level where they are an expert. Sometimes it takes a lot of work to be lazy Individuality is fine, as long as we do it together - F. Burns
