    I wonder if other industries are populated with the sort of person who posts questions like:

    Quote:

    Iam unable to find the code for [redacted]. Ihave been searching for [redacted] but didnt found any exact code. Please help

    Do they really believe that the job of a developer consists purely of Cut & Paste? Discuss.

    They also believe it doesn't involve any aspect of thought/planning/design/architecture. They just want to write paste code and click run.

          Today there are many many many 'developers' so you can find also 'developers' like the one you reported.

              That's why I just prefer to consider me a simple engineer ;) ;P :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

              M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                      No, mice were for those with the luxury of paper tape: we were all punch cards which needed cat-tooth holes. Besides, we couldn't afford the cheese.

                                          Chuck norris?

                                          M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
