You know you're a crappy programmer when...

I was recently googling and found this blog. I don't know if this has been done, but it could potentially be a good source of laughter, shame and education. A lot of users here on GD should know the signs of a crappy programmer - most of us through exhibiting said crappiness ourselves at some point in time. So, you know you're a crappy programmer when...

You're a crappy programmer when you think the compiler has bugs in it and you have been programming for less than a year.

You know you're a crappy programmer when you're not me.

bool TestProgrammerCrappyness(string programmername){ if(programmername != "Programmer One")  return true; else return false;}void RandomSillyness(){ string programmer = "John Carmack"; bool result = TestProgrammerCrappyness(programmer); if(result == true)DispatchEvilDroidKillBotToDestroy(programmer);}

Not true! [grin]

Anyway, you're a crappy programmer if you don't already know you're a crappy programmer.

Oh, god. A prime example of a crappy programmer:

#include "SDL.h"int main(int argc, char* args[]){	return 0;}

This throws an exception after main, believe it or not. Haha I knew this thread would come in handy! I suck!

You're a crappy programmer when you spend a good three hours debugging your program without getting anywhere, and only after those three hours realizing that you used a local (invoking a copy constructor) where you should have used a reference because you forgot a '&' symbol...

Yup...

...you spend 3 months on A* and still don't get it right.

I did spend like a month before I got A* to work perfectly.

But, I was only 14 years old at the time, does that make it any better? [grin]
