So...I havent been on here in a while, but I cant seem to find the wall of shame so I thought here would do :P While going through our current framework I came across a module written by one of our senior devs, who apparently doesnt know what a break is, here is an example of what he does :

for (var i = 0;i < myArray.length; i++) {
if (conditionIsMet) {
i = myArray.length;
}
}

I gave him the benefit of the doubt and thought that maybe he was using i somewhere else, but he wasn't. Anyways, just a little laugh...Has anyone else found any gems like this??

Isnt that Murphy's Law?

I got my first job in a Durban, South Africa. I started coding since about age 10 (in basic), went through a couple of languages from QBASIC to VB to Game Maker, and then finally C#. My parents weren't in a position where they could send me to college, so I spent my first few years out of school working low paying retail jobs. When I finally got over it I literally sent out about 90 C.V's all over the country, and got 3 interviews :P All I can say is keep every little app that you make, as it shows what you can do. Its my little app's and games that I made in my spare time that ended up getting me a job. Just show them that you love coding, and when you get your first job, work hard!

I disagree with people who say games aren't as good. Back in day I think they were more "amazing" because they were new and ground breaking. Now, there are a set number of genres and 50 games being released in each of those genres a month. A good game to me is now determined by the story and overall polish of the game. Graphics mean nothing, which I guess is just a thing from growing up in the 90's where the most amazing graphics I ever saw was Dues Ex :P (was that even the 90's ???)
