It be Friday... My job title is "Business Systems Analyst" but in reality I'm just a glorified helpdesk wonk... I do anything ad hoc, special projects, things that might need a bigger, more experienced brain to deal with the complexities, but really this job just ain't much of a challenge.
But it IS stressful because I seem to get a lot of the last minute do-it-now stuff that people have blown off for 3 weeks... So anyways, I get few chances to write any code, and when I do, I usually don't have much time to do it. Such is my current lot in life... When I write code (in MS Access or ASP), I just cobble it together since I just try and get the gist of something going so I then know how much more time/effort it might take to get the whole thing done. So I tend to start off w/ variable names like good ol' X or X1 or X2 etc.... just to get the thing running. After getting something actually DONE yesterday, I had some down time so decided to clean up my code a bit and put in real var names. Not bothering to let the editor do a search/replace like I should have, I typed them by hand and of course I botched it up... So I'm not sure which is the worse case of laziness - not doing proper var names to begin with (even though not really sure where I'm going to go with the program in general), or not using the lightening fast and accurate tool that would have done the renaming work for me in the first place.... <g> -- Matt Jarvis Eugene, Oregon USA _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/capt54rasrmlevewge41he8rarc_pesxqf5fzxu3gqswj1xk...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
