... but some of the QA questions just make me want to hit something / someone. No links, no names ... but he has code like this:
if(a>0) { MessageBox.Show("DATA SAVE SUCESSSFULLY"); }And he wants me to add this for him, because he can't work it out:
else
{
MessageBox.Show("RECORD ALREADY EXISTS");
}I can't decide if he's unbelievably lazy, too dumb to walk and chew gum at the same time, or a troll ... :omg:

Embrace the power of "AND". As in "I need a mug of :beer:, a glass of 🍷, and a shot of 🥃; to deal with that level of stupidity."
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

I chalk this up to those moments when something is so obvious but I can't see it. I remember one time having to bang my head against a wall. Gave up and asked team for advice. setup in conference room to review where I was having issues. as soon as I looked at it in the conference room. I could then "see" the issue and fixed it in moments. I think these users are sometimes having that sort of well brain fart moment.

Someone new to programming is, well, new to programming. Nothing is obvious when one has never programmed before. With decades of experience with multiple languages it becomes easier to guess at solutions and also much easier to know how to write a google search string that will produce a correct answer. Or any answer.

The only reasonable pair for
"DATA SAVE SUCESSSFULLY"is"RECORD ALREADY EXIST""If we don't change direction, we'll end up where we're going"
More obvious would be: "DATA SAVE UNSUCCESSFULLY" ;P :-D
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.

Jschell, well said about "new to programming". I can remember my early days were a grand exploration of logic. Got hooked. When I look back at old code its like looking into my mind from the past and thinking "what was I thinking?". Both good and bad code.

At my level of experience I always expect that now. I will ask a colleague to look at the code with me knowing that as I explain the problem to them and show them the code that I will figure out the solution myself.
THis is, of course, the real benefit of pair programming. My (admittedly limited) experience of how pair programming works in large orgs is that it is competition, not collaboration. Which makes it less than helpful.
