Do u feel the way I do after writing a server!!!!!
-
I dont know how others feel . I feel very happy about myself after I finished coding a multithreaded server which runs 24x7 . I kept it running for couple of days during week ends and now it has proved that its robust . So despite the kinda work load we feel ..we feel happy and self appreciative once our programs ( God knows who runs the exe and how the functions work ) work well. I hope every once in a while we programmers need to have a look at what we have accomplished rather than whats left undone . This will improve our competency level and work as a pleasure ...

I know how you feel. I just finished writing an SSL tunneling service in C# (no, stunnel.exe doesn't solve my problem) using async calls (which uses completion ports where available), and it's fast and scales well. Seeing lots (I mean LOTS) of simultaneous connections and seeing memory usage and thread count static made me proud of my creation at a point I can't describe. Not that the project needs all that scalability and performance, but it's nice seeing an elegant job and knowing that you accomplished something that you considered hard, although some people may consider it easy. No one will ever see it, and maybe never notice it, but when I see it running, I know what's under the hood. Yes, even I am blogging now!

I'm only a part-time programmer, I'm an electronics engineer, most of my work is on the propulsion systems on electric trains here in the UK. I get a big "kick" out of seeing trains move with my equipment inside, that's the same feeling that you get when you know your software is working well and working hard. Whether it's software or hardware, analogue or digital, that feeling of satisfaction is one thing that keeps me enthusiastic about a profession that is often ignored or belittled. And after 15 years in the industry I still feel that I've let people down if my stuff breaks down, and I get a slight feeling of "butterflies in the stomach" if I'm travelling in one of "my" trains in case it causes problems....

Come on Paul !!!!!!! hahahaha Really wonderful to meet a real engineer. Though I studied computer engineering ( if u call it engineering ) I always felt that mechnaical engg is the real *manly* engineering men have to take up in life. We had papers about Two stroke , four stroke engines and Babcox and wilcox Boilers ..etc etc in our first semester . STILL NOW I dont understand the logic behind the gears getting changed in my four stroke bike !!! U know if any one asks me to name the most wondeful invention by man -- I will name " Gear changing " ( I Dont know the exact terminology ) only. I enjoyed your reply when u said " u felt like butterflies inside stomach" hahahah....fun ...one more thing is ..when we do a work we love we end up with no energy loss at all when we go back home ...

i am wondering ...how come u being a mech engr in CP site ..? are u doing any programing stuff ...?
There's a few of us engineers here, and most of us do a bit of programming. In fact, it's rather hard to be an engineer these days without knowing how to program. It's just another tool in the toolbox, though, and we're not necessarily very good at using it.;) "If it's Snowbird season, why can't we shoot them?" - Overheard in a bar in Bullhead City

I thought I read somewhere that they advised not writing services in C# (.NET) due to performance problems and stabilty. It has worked well for you under load?

I've converted a DOS-based tool we use to communicate between laptops and our trains' control systems into Windows/VC++6/MFC, with a lot of help from CP. At the other end of the scale I've recently finished doing modifications to the embedded software on a 5 megawatt 125mph electric locomotive, including doing track testing and gaining safety approvals. This runs on a 5MHz 8086, most of the code is in assembly language, this is *manly* stuff, the software equivalent of getting your hands dirty. Paul Altrincham, UK
