... we had a long run of exercises where we were supposed to turn a flowchart in along with our applications. The whole class quickly discovered that we got marks deducted if the final version of our code didn't match our flowchart -- so we got our code working and then we wrote the flowchart to match the code.

Since I left school, I've had several code design tools proposed to me, many of them visual in nature (class design tools seem to be especially popular). Of all the tools that I've been introduced to, the one that has made the least sense to me is pseudo-code. In Visual Studio, I have a perfectly wonderful code editor that will work in any language … except, of course, for the language called "pseudo." It's never been clear to me why I would design my programs in some language that wouldn't compile when I can use a language that will compile.

As a technical writer who has focused as much on the “technical” as on the “writing,” I came up with a phrase that describes my reaction when a programmer tells me something “can’t” be done: “Its just software.”

<..>

“Can’t” is shorthand. What it’s shorthand for depends. It could mean there’s no time to do the work. It could mean there are no resources to do the work. It could mean that the work does not provide enough value. (A reason that’s especially tough to hear when you’re trying to make a product better.) Heck, it could mean that the underlying system was designed so badly that there’s no way anyone wants to touch any of it because one light breath will make it all fall over like a Jenga tower.
What “can’t” almost never means is its literal meaning. A programmer almost always can, so when one says “can’t,” it becomes incumbent on us to translate.

I think every company needs to make the decision to either invest significantly more in tools, or just not bother.

That applies to everything. It's not only for the 3d editor used to build your levels, but it's your build system, and it's your programming language, it's your production pipeline, it's the DCC tools you use, all of that.

Tools are supposed to have a multiplying impact on productivity, and when you find that they have a dividing impact on productivity, get the hell out.

This is one of those descriptions that you just know you'll be disapointed if you click it.

From the docs :

Only the first 2048 characters of Microsoft C++ identifiers are significant.
Names for user-defined types are "decorated" by the compiler to preserve type information.
The resultant name, including the type information, cannot be longer than 2048 characters.

Technically, there isn't one in C# (an identifier length )
- the CLI does not impose any limit, neither does the C# specification.
However, in practice, the C# compiler does impose a limit of 511 characters per name.
If you declare something with 511 characters you are fine, 512 and you will get an "Identifier to long" error.


I really don't know what to make of the distinction . . . but the 2048 number caught my attention while reading some C++ docs.

Both figures are huge, imagine using 6.3  80 character lines to name a C# identifier.

You'd sure need intellisense.

. . . . I have trouble pronouncing and remembering even the simple 12 character names :)

That's huge!

Nice error message though; I could see myself in that situation asking why I needed to cast my int identifier to long.

We try not to exaggerate the importance of a programming technique or a language feature, but please don’t underestimate a simple statement like “This is often useful.” If we quietly emphasize that something is important, we mean that you’ll sooner or later waste days if you don’t master it. Our use of humor is more limited than we would have preferred, but experience shows that people’s ideas of what is funny differ dramatically and that a failed attempt at humor can be confusing.

I think this is the cleanest set of definitions I've ever come across :

Quote from: Bjarne

• A type defines a set of possible values and a set of operations (for an object).
• An object is some memory that holds a value of a given type.
• A value is a set of bits in memory interpreted according to a type.
• A variable is a named object.
• A declaration is a statement that gives a name to an object.
• A definition is a declaration that sets aside memory for an object.

In a book written by Dr. Seuss in 1950, If I Ran the Zoo, he states this:

Quote from: Dr. Seuss
“And then, just to show them, I’ll sail to Ka-Troo And Bring Back an It-Kutch, a Preep, and a Proo, A Nerkle, a Nerd, and a Seersucker, too!”

Quote from: Rob Conery. The Imposter's Handbook Kindle Edition.
If we’re going to get anywhere in our careers, we must seek out challenge and, along with it, failure. Failure is growth, growth is learning.

Embrace it.
