What are the worst programming habits?Wrong or obsolete comments.

VB6: Best programming language everLike COBOL, VB6 is here to stay. More than 50% of business transactions are processed with COBOL and VB6. Some claim 70% and 80%.

nULL OR nOT?I am against using nulls in the database because it means introducing 3 valued logic, which is known to be bad. The behavior of SELECT and conditions when nulls are involved is too complicated.

for(int i=0; i<size; i++)AFAIK it started with the first FORTRAN - there were no type declarations then. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortran#FORTRAN[^]

Your ads aren't loadingWhen entering Code Project I get the warning "Your ads aren't loading". What can I do about it? I have no idea where to start. Windows 7, Chrome, AdBlock (free) When I pause AdBlock the ads show.

Software company internal lowWe have similar rules, plus: no overtime (on a weekly basis) except in special cases.

VB6 - far from dead!My company has a solid code base in VB6. When VB.NET appeared we tried the automatic conversion and it would not work. Also it is rather pointless - the code is not object oriented. We did convert, or rather rewrote, our infrastructure code for C# and Java, and we use them for new projects, but the existing projects work well and there is no reason to fiddle with them. We did need to change the data component from mdb, and we chose xml.

How did you become a professional programmer?In 1960 as a young conscript the Israeli army decided that I am suitable and I started programming in assembly language for the Philco 2000 (AKA Transac 212). I went on to Fortran, COBOL, VB, C, Java and C#. Still at it.

New Generation does not realy understand computersEven nostalgia isn't any more what it used to be.

while (*s++ = ((*t & 0x60) == 0x40 ? *t ^ 0x20 : *t)) t++;I the context of software, only as well as but generally mean a bug.

while (*s++ = ((*t & 0x60) == 0x40 ? *t ^ 0x20 : *t)) t++;Only in America... I mean, only for US ASCII. :thumbsdown:

10 Commandments"Never hard-code a numeric value, always declare a constant instead." Please remember to exclude 0 and 1 from this rule.

Looking for suggestions for dealing with stupid peopleAn excellent example - for IT being wrong! What looks the same should be the same. In all my software I try as far as possible to trim text fields and ignore invisible characters.

Is VB finally dead?Nearly no programming language ever dies. FORTRAN, the oldest, is still doing quite well.

First programming language for high school students?If not assembler, which would have forced him to know what a computer really is, then Java with clean object orientated code.
