Obfuscation... If it's hard to write , it should be hard to read...

LOL. Sadly I know "programmers" who write code like that and aren't trying.

Me too... I had to fire someone once because they couldnt support their own code, and cost the company a **load in time and money.. We ended up having too refactor/rewrite most of it.

I'd warned him that comments , intelligable spacing, and logical code structures would save him alot of trouble in support, but you know the young, you can't tell them anything.. It's a standard now where I'm at, if we do a code review and can't follow it, we reject it. Sun Microsystems will reject your code if it's not spaced properly, those guys know how to enforce standards!

hah
 
hah...my dads friend works with computers for the military (dunno specifically what he does with them) but i know more about computers then he does. i think its funny because my he acts like he knows what he's doing (he sprayed windex on his keyboard to clean it! now how much common sense does it take to realize you shouldnt spray liquid on a keyboard?) but he just makes it worse. the computer has gone to hell now.

I once worked in a place that had a programming staff of 24. I was in the systems software group. A coworker heard me comment my opinion, which I still have to this day, that 2/3 of all programmers are incompetent. He disagreed. So I asked him to list the ones he considered competent in programming.

He listed 8. I said "do the math". :-)

Programming requires a talent. Years of college will never create that talent. Either you have it or you don't.

Just my not-so-humble opinion.
