IT Diaries

Back in the programming days, when I programmed in C. I don’t know why we didn’t use the editors. We wrote it in notepads, saved it and run the commands through command prompt window (poverty I guess). Error lines stream down your screen. And you spend hours pin pointing the problem, re-designing your code, enhancing it … until ultimately you notice you forgot the ‘&’ in the ‘scanf’ command, and all those crappy errors were bull. You laugh and cry at the same time. You wonder will it be too much of a drama scene if you start banging your head against the monitor … eventually you call the instructor, show the output and leave.

As you get more experienced you seem to forget the little things. If a problem happens, no matter how bizarre it may seem the solution is simple. I get way over to solve a problem, the funny thing is sometimes I discover glitches along the way that I end up fixing along with the original problem which is not bad for the overall result.

On the other hand, I get caught up in those other things that I completely forget what the original problem was ;P –that reminds me of something—

3ala 6aree programming, why do most people hate it?? I believe I would have made one hell of a good programmer. The downside is I wouldn’t exist in the real world, I’d be living in Java land with all my imaginary Java buddies. Back in the days, if I had programming, I used to sleep with a notepad next to me, wake up in the middle of the night, and write down my ideas or solutions. I once dreamed of the problem and solved it, woke up and wrote it down. From that moment on, I knew if I wanted a normal life, stay the hell away from coding. Now I just play around with my Java when I am bored. On the other hand, maybe it’s my destiny, hmmmm, should I give it a try???
