i think i'm too critical to be a programmer ... |
| rindolf |
rp21: do you mean you're too perfectionist? |
| Su-Shee |
yeah sure. there's something like "too good code". |
| rindolf |
Su-Shee: print "Hello World!\n"; - that's good code. |
| rindolf |
Or maybe say "Hello World!"; |
| rindolf |
Can't be improved. |
| rp21 |
hey, why did my nick change? |
| rp2 |
yes it may be perfectionism |
| rindolf |
rp2: ah, sucks. |
| rp2 |
eg i want to get all columns from a database table in Perl |
| rp2 |
now my problem is that i want to write code that works wuith a variety of databases and both on windows and linux |
| rp2 |
it seems that as soon as i have found a way to overcome a particular restriction, i mentally add another and spend my time trying to overcome that too, sometimes losing track of the reason i started the script |
| rindolf |
rp2: heh. |
| rp2 |
if i were a better programmer i'd get through the hurdles quicker and end up with solvesworldhunger.pl |
| rp2 |
except that i'd probably finish Perl 7 to write it in first |
| rindolf |
rp2: well, some of my programs outgrow their original purpose too. |
| rindolf |
rp2: :-D |
| rp2 |
except that it'd never get finished because i'd first fix the OSes it's supposed to run on, |
| rp2 |
etc etc |
| rp2 |
raaaah! |
| rindolf |
rp2: you should hire Chuck Norris. |
| rp2 |
yes |
| rindolf |
Chuck Norris can end world hunger, but he thinks that hungry people make humanity a more challenging adversary. |
| rindolf |
If everyone had enough to eat, it would be too easy for him. |
| rindolf |
;-) |
| mino |
Chuck Norris also writes understandable perl code... *scnr* |
| rindolf |
mino: LOL. |
| rindolf |
mino: Chuck Norris can read Perl code that was RSA encrypted. |
| mino |
rindolf: is there any difference to unencrypted one? :P |
| rindolf |
mino: not to Chuck. |
