i hate coding man... I REALLY HATE IT!!!

[Mday]

<---- not a computer science major

 

[joohang]

I'm not in Comp Sci either. I hate it.

But I love coding - only in DHTML, ASP, and .NET

 

[GiLtY]

--->Newb in computer programming, but I like coding a lot. Just imagine what can you do with all the codings!

 

[littleprince]

coding is fun!!!!
except for null pointers! o god!!!!!!!

[AncientPC]

I used to like coding. Now that I'm at college and majoring in Comp Sci I'm starting to hate it. Bleah . . .

 

[Bluga]

ya it can be bad sometimes.

 

[javathehut]

Coding sucks when u dont know what to do and are inexperienced with the material. Otherwise it's fun when you know what to do!

 

[Shudder]

That's why I'm quitting my job to become a fireman. Cubes suck and I don't want to look back and know that my life consisted of meaningless assignments and code that no one even cares about

 

[esung]

coding can be fun.. if the code itself has a purpose, and you want to achieve that.. but again, writing a good solid piece of work takes a long time and practice.

 

[TBP]

Why code when you can buy

or

Let others do it.

Coding is great when you're running on a cool OS (Windows) and are using an awesome compiler/IDE (MS Visual C++).

Coding sucks when you're working on Linux and are being forced to use Emacs.

 

[esung]

who says you have to use EMACS when coding under linux? Penguin has GUI and IDE as well..

No kidding! The only thing is that I only program in VB.

<< Penguin has GUI and IDE as well >>

Yeah, but it's a piece of... (don't want to start a flame war. )

Coding isn't bad, it's debugging that is a pain in the butt. I hate when you are absolotely certain something will work, but it just doesn't.

 

[esung]

debugging certain is a pain.. but if you have a good design/algorithm/pseudo code, you pretty much reduce to the debug to typo, that's the idea situation, reality isn't like that, I know, but a good design will reduce the amount of debugging significantly.

 

I don't like coding.
I dropped out of school on a Comp Sci major.
Its just not for me. Im not the person to sit there toil away and endless lines of code.
I will just pay the people to do it for me

 

[gittyup]

Coding is fun and challenging...

 

[misle]

I'm gonna have to drop my Algorithm Design and Programming II Class (Advanced C). I'm going to attempt to teach myself over summer and take the class again in the Fall.

I don't know what my opinion of Coding is b/c of my inexperience. I think that once I understand it better, I'll like it.
Writing code reminds me of girls. When you first start out, girls are yucky and confusing. Now they are beautiful, but sometimes still very confusing. (Am I making sense or do I need more sleep...)

It's great...just find some way to make it fun...spend a few hours finding all the possible ways to cause a program to crash. Null pointers are fun.

 

[AncientPC]

I can't ever remember obscure syntax errors anymore. I find it quite pointless to remember those things, I just compile the damn thing and fix all the errors. Then again that's horribly inefficient.

 

[coder1]

I absolutley love coding. Every aspect of it. Thats what I do for a living. I love the power it givs you.

 

[littleprince]

nedit!!!
wooho!!!!

no, but seriously... coding in linux/unix does drive me nuts sometimes...

******NULL POINTER ERROR********
Nuff said.

 

[BFG10K]

******NULL POINTER ERROR********

That's actually a useful error (and one I've never seen).

I usually get:

Segmentation fault.
Segmentation violation.
Bus error.

Still, Linux is a rock solid OS, make no mistake about it.
But so is Windows.

 

[javathehut]

Actually coding is cool unless you do it in archaic languages like LISP, Clips or Prolog. Then you really start hating the world of coding! Otherwise Java, C and C++ are better coding environments, at least for me.

 

[FOBSIDE]

i used to like programming...til one fateful night when i received this error message.

ERROR! TOO MANY ERRORS!

thats when i knew...no computer science for me.
