Coding is like cooking: 7 ways to prove it

Coding and cooking bring a sense of control that other occupations do not offer, but this is not their only connection.

You put code in the microwave, and it's ready in 30seconds?

No, nothing else is like coding. Try cooking exactly the same cake five times.

Ever work in a bakery?

Better to warm it on the compiler and cook it with the linker. Use some spicy libs for better taste and smooth flavor :-O

Note to self, stop reading articles from jaxenter. They are likely to be of this quality.

It may take 40 seconds, or 20, depending on how fast you can copy-and-paste code from CodeProject and StackOverflow into your IDE.

I think this is a very keen point ! Signature worthy :) Enthuses me to spontificate: Coding is cooking exactly the same cake five times when the recipe, and the kitchen, are unpredictably changed every minute you are at work. Hacking is getting inside the cake without disturbing the icing. cheers, Bill
