It Is Not That Uncommon

It Is Not That Uncommon For The Cost Of An Abstraction To Outweigh The Benefit It Delivers. Kill One Today!

The Idea That I Can Be Presented With A Problem, Set Out To Logically Solve It With The Tools At Hand, And Wind Up With A Program That Could Not Be Legally Used Because Someone Else Followed The Same Logical Steps Some Years Ago And Filed For A Patent On It Is Horrifying.

Programming Is Not A Zero-sum Game. Teaching Something To A Fellow Programmer Doesn't Take It Away From You. I'm Happy To Share What I Can, Because I'm In It For The Love Of Programming.

I'd Rather Have A Search Engine Or A Compiler On A Deserted Island Than A Game.

The Escalation Programmers Come From A Completely Different Background, And The Codebase Is All Stl This, Boost That, Fill-up-the-property List, Dispatch The Event, And Delegate That. I Had Been Harboring Some Suspicions That Our Big Codebases Might Benefit From The Application Of Some More Of The Various “modern” C++ Design Patterns, Despite Seeing Other Large Game Codebases Suffer Under Them. I Have Since Recanted That Suspicion.
