Alot of stuff.
Deadlines first and foremost...
Then there was the sitting and coding for 8 or more hours - or worse - sitting and rewriting somebody elses old code, its hell boring IMO.
Also co-workers - people with ego's, people who did absolutely nothng but took credit when the job was done...
I enjoy support alot more than development.

I hear u man. Personally I find it exiting. Or solving a problem at least. Funny, I don't like support (programming). I prefer development thou.jamin_za wrote:Alot of stuff.

I almost kinda went the route as a trainer @ CPUT. I used to help the 1st years with C++ and Cobol.Ron2K wrote:I pretty much work in, erm, "training". (Those who have viewed my profile will know exactly what I'm talking about.) Not the best thing in the world but it's a start. Would love to get into development.
Development is nice, but it's the responsibility that comes with it that tick me off. If the system dies becoz of ur poor programming then there's a lot of yelling to be endured...

I started learning Visual C++ when I was 13, become fairly good at it it the 4 years.
Delphi - did it because of school, very good at it (not hard to be very good at it though)
Javascript - Im decent - not great, not bad... never really need it though.
HTML im decent at... yet again, never really need it.
Assembler - im decent at...

There is an old saying, jack of all trades, master of none.UndaGrad wrote:A question to the programmers: I notice that you've all listed several different languages; is knowledge and experience of all those languages necessary for one to be a good programmer? I mean, can't somebody just specialise in, say, C++?
IMHO specialising is better.
Once you know one its easy to pick up others but I prefer sticking to one language if I can. When you work with too many languages at the same time you start to do stupid things like putting ; at the end of each line in your VB code.FTB_Screamer wrote:There is an old saying, jack of all trades, master of none.UndaGrad wrote:A question to the programmers: I notice that you've all listed several different languages; is knowledge and experience of all those languages necessary for one to be a good programmer?

To learn the more difficult languages it's better to start with something simpler to get the feel for it which is why I think most people know more than one. I wouldn't have liked ASM to be my first language.

As one of my friends put it, a programmer with only one language is like a builder with only one tool. You need a hammer and a screwdriver to do most things worth doing.UndaGrad wrote:A question to the programmers: I notice that you've all listed several different languages; is knowledge and experience of all those languages necessary for one to be a good programmer?
