haha so true ...

It was a hard choice, but I think I like #2 the most. I code best alone, and I often have a hard time to get along with other programmers, especially at the Uni. For some reason a lot of programmers like to point out "errors" in others code, even if it doesn't matter.

A good example is

Code: Select all

if(true)
 do something;
or

Code: Select all

if(true)
{
    do something;
}

I personally prefer the second one, because it's easier for me to follow the code when I go back to it a month later. But I often get complaints that "you don't have to write it that way, it's just slopp". Fuck that, I'll write my code the way I see fit, and I follow a common standard and a legal syntax.


...Now, this reply turned into a rant instead of a "lol that's true!" reply. But at least I got that off my chest : 3
