Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Anytime
Always happy to say something or other sucks. :-)

New I've noticed that
How often the the originator of the suckage agree with you?
New Practically never
But that is usually a good sign that they don't really know what they are doing.

Self criticism is a great sign of maturity.

Fave programmer question - so what's wrong with your favorite language? The wrong answer is "nothing".

New How about this answer
"What's wrong with my favorite language is that it's the best one I've found so far. They all suck. Every minute I spend learning syntax is a minute I don't spend doing something worthwhile. Anyone who actually enjoys code for its own sake is a useful idiot."

What, me cynical? Nah.

And yes, I sometimes appreciate code for its own sake.

New Its great
Heck, its the answer I gave. Well, sorta. I was pretty emphatic that while I'm still plenty good at it, I'm kind of tired of it.

Its an OK answer for a potential manager I think, but not for a dev position.

I would press for more detail on why, while its the best so far, it still sucks. Just to be sure he understands something of the language he's dissing (IOW, is he dissing from authority).

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
