Waahhh Programming Is Hard

Why I Hate Rails.” It’s a big rant on why Rails is awful. Ummm, yeah, programming is hard. Now, the excuse that “I’m not a programmer because I didn’t go to school for it” is a joke. I learned to program when I was 8 years old, from a book. I have always read and taught myself to program and further my career. Yes, I went to college for programming, but honestly, I found it useless. Am I programming Pascal or Fortran today? Ummm, no. The stuff I learned in college came from me reading and researching in my dorm room. The point is that you need drive and passion to be a great programmer. Just saying you are one doesn’t make you one.

WAAHHH Rails is Hard!


Property Fun

public string CustomerName {
get { return CustomerName; }
set { CustomerName = value; }
}

Uhhh, what?


Exception(al) Fun

// Auto generate exceptions if only message public static void AddErrorToLog(string errorMessage) { try { throw new Exception(errorMessage); } catch (Exception ex) { AddErrorToLog(ex); } } public static void AddErrorToLog(Exception ex) { try { LogClient.AddErrorToLogAsync(ex); } catch (Exception localEx) { _logger.Error("Client Error", localEx); _logger.Error("Client Error - Original Exception", ex); } }

Mind… BLOWN!

Devs: go http://t.co/59AO9fgpzN and type a semicolon into search & wait for autocomplete. This isn't "great programmers and bad proj mgmt"

Ha ha ha! Yes, it’s just autocomplete entries from other users, but that’s a bit short-sighted as you’re telling the world that users are trying to hack your site. In case they fix it, here’s what it looks like:
