I'd say I fall under "shotgun programming"... but I'm probably in denial. I usually don't know what to do when something breaks. "Programming by accident" for me :(

Well, the importance of the C / C + + is so high that you can call the Foundation for the programming. " So, who wants to enter the world of programming must use your C / C + + skills as a gateway.

Why stop now? So close to pointing out the negative in every type of programmer! Not only is the glass half empty, the water isn't bottled.

That's funny! Thanks for the post. Rick

2010-01-18T03:44:51.920-05:00

it seems to me that it doesn't really matter what type of programmer some is as long as he delivers what the spec asks for, that's why we are being paid for.

funny article though...

2010-01-18T03:33:35.127-05:00

I think the shotgun approach is sometimes a good way to understand what exactly happens. If you change a boolean or comment out a method call, you can relatively quickly get a better understanding where the problem is. Of course, that only works with scripting languages when you don't have to recompile everytime you change something.

> These sound like debugging styles rather than programming styles. Which says a lot about what programming is.

Well, if debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in.

I disagree with things getting lost in a pattern. And if you do get tangled, you probably aren't doing your patterns right.

2010-01-17T22:21:49.141-05:00

Don't forget the Channel Programmer. He/She writes five very large scale, highly integrated, database driven web apps encompassing payroll, tech support tracking, document imaging systems with barcode driven archival routing and web portal user interfaces, automatic email generation, central authentication services, etc, all with database access, web service endpoints, JSON and XML protocols, etc, all single-handedly, and all in about just 11 months.

When someone asks him how he did it, he doesn't know. Says he (me), "I dunno. It's not so much that I design this stuff as much as I just channel it..."

2010-01-17T22:16:39.354-05:00

Surgical: this parameter can be null under specific circumstances, failure to handle it correctly is a bug.

Least effort programming: screw it, I'll just skip this line if the parameter is a null.

In order to qualify as a least effort programmer, you have to not care why the added test for a null is valid or effective. You just have to care that people stop telling you there's an error.

Least effort is quite a bit "shotgun" as well.
