Is Coding About Authoring or Achieving a Specification? 2 Months Ago by cored0mp I'll admit that I have an opinion about this. Is the point of professional coding to write creative software or to write software that adheres closely to standards? Re: Is Coding About Authoring or Achieving a Specification? 2 Months Ago by rproffitt What standards are you asking about? What happens when your standard doesn't fit your use case? (spoiler) ![image_2024-01-27_115711909.png](https://static.daniweb.com/attachments/1/361846dbfc9dcb5adc5f4800c2a3933d.png) https://xkcd.com/927/ As I wrote more and more code I did gravitate toward standards. But with each job, there was yet … Re: Is Coding About Authoring or Achieving a Specification? 2 Months Ago by Reverend Jim Are you differentiating between design and programming? Some professionals get stuck in their heads. For example, too many surgeons feel that surgery is the first option. My job as a professional programmer was not primarily to write code. My job was to provide solutions to problems. Ideally that meant writing as little code as possible. If coding … Re: Is Coding About Authoring or Achieving a Specification? 2 Months Ago by Reverend Jim As an example, here is some code we got from a vendor. It is rock-solid. It does what it is supposed to but it is virtually unmaintainable. I can't begin to imagine how it was ever debugged.

And, yes, that is indeed FORTRAN. The system also came with a preprocessor called SFORX which added structured statements ($IF-$ELSE, $WHILE, etc.) but for some reason it was not used in this case. Just for fun I eventually rewrote the above with no GOTOs to prove to a co-worker that it could be done. Re: Is Coding About Authoring or Achieving a Specification? 2 Months Ago by cored0mp @rproffitt Thank you for your excellent and humorous response. > So back to you, how do you deal with choosing such standards? Generally I don't choose standards. I tend to apply what would be called the 'Dutch philosophy', meaning that I am in my personal efforts more an integrator of different ideas rather than one who imposes … Re: Is Coding About Authoring or Achieving a Specification? 2 Months Ago by Reverend Jim >So back to you, how do you deal with choosing such standards? I code under the assumption that the person who will be maintaining my code is a psychopath who knows where I live. Re: Is Coding About Authoring or Achieving a Specification? 2 Months Ago by Dani I have coded and maintained DaniWeb by myself for twenty years. I have always tried to write code that adheres closely to standards. I try to make my code easy to read, and document it well enough that, should I need to change something, I can easily figure out why I did something the way I did 3 or 5 years ago, should I no longer remember. Re: Is Coding About Authoring or Achieving a Specification? 2 Months Ago by cored0mp @Reverend Jim Thank you for the Fortran sample. It was splendid! You were right to highlight the differences between design and coding. In fact I made a seperate post about this!
