            Nothing special - just regular baked ham (thinly sliced) from the local deli. Between a couple of slices of Wonder Bread, of course. :cool: /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

            couple of slices of Wonder Bread No, no, no, NO! Ravi I am apalled at you! The proper way to have it is with 2-3 slices of prosciutto[^], a slice of tomato, and touch of mayonnaise on a nice semolina roll. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire! Real Mentats use only 100% pure, unfooled around with Sapho Juice(tm)! SELECT * FROM User WHERE Clue > 0 0 rows returned

                            I know. It shows. :rose: There's a certain kind of developer who'll pepper their code with ASSERTs and VERIFYs, correctly Doxygen/JavaDoc everything, and compile every library in Debug/Release and Unicode/MBCS modes. Not because they have to, but because doing anything less would be shoddy and unprofessional. Craftsmanship. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

                                        I am supporting your behavior, the comment is not a detraction! You comment made me think of the antithesis - lumps out there performing some primitive repetitive pattern, thinking they are developing software. But it's not based on understanding, appreciation for what follows from step 1, improving, increasing effectiveness, and so on. It's not backed up by continual research, reading, understanding, toying with new ideas and concepts, striving to ensure standards are a) known to exist b) understood c) ackowledged as being necessary d) implemented. It's not, in the mathematical sense, beautiful. Those others who should rather be in some other industry. Maybe they'd be happier fixing an engine or flying a fighter jet. But I don't want them developing in my company. They should rather move to sales, marketing, HR, or some other domain where they can flourish. And stop bothering me.

                                          Sorry, I misunderstood you. The last sentence seemed like it was directed to my post. caractacus wrote: Maybe they'd be happier fixing an engine or flying a fighter jet. That's a good analogy. There are tinkerers and there are craftsmen. I believe there's room (and a necessity) for both.
