Only by pushing 'netmaestro' will you master those hard to do things!

Yeh some really good philosophies here. Things that I will think on.

Tell Netmaestro you have an impossible problem to solve and that he couldn't possibly master it, sit back with a mug of coffee and a newspaper and await the code!

I have erm 'written' 150000 lines of code that way!

Very funny one srod; but I can also see how useful that could be, after all I love a good mug of coffee. Not to mention 150000 lines of Netmaetro's good code.

It doesn't matter if you fail! You will learn more from your failures than you ever would if you never tried!

I tend to side with Kale on this philosophy, my biggest downfall Is I often get myself stuck, that is I suppose when Kaeru's "KISS and STRiP" philosophy becomes a pretty good idea.

I practice the art of Interruptable programming

I get constant interruptions either at home or at work that constantly break my concentration of what I'm working on.

For this reason I break code into as many atomic single task procedures as possible so I can drop it at any time.

It used to be frustrating but both at work, responding to outages and support and at home responding to a crying baby etc. Eventually I learned that I need to be work in a way that lets me respond to these things and be able to drop what I'm coding with minimal impact to productivity.

I dunno, Sparkie's been a bit more productive for me
