What code did you write today?

I doubt there is any semantic content

This should be the cafe's tagline

I did a bit of da Vinci code today.

I use FME to avoid writing code. Today was struggling with some date/time formatting that I was expecting to be fairly easy, but then I did manage to quickly add some output area centroid grid references to some population data so I could create a population heatmap instead of the usual choropleth.

 

[mcshroom]

A bit of data rearranging to get a set of SCADA output CSV files into something more usable. Unfortunately I had to do it in Excel using my rusty VBA macro knowledge. The result is a bit processor intensive.

I bitch about my colleagues' code. This is the true mark of the coding brethren.

My thing is, when someone says: "I've finished it, just wrapping up the tests", to suck my breathe in and look at them condescendingly.

I wish I could, too. Quite often, though, the culprits have long since left the team, or the company, and we're left to maintain (and steadily grow) about 1.1 million lines of (mostly) Java code. It certainly makes some of my weeks interesting. I just spent this entire week working on a very hard to analyse, and only partly reproducible, bug that causes an application to crash, and have now just delivered a partial fix. The only catch is: I can't explain why the fix works, and neither can my colleagues who peer-reviewed my code changes. I had to deliver it anyway, because it was really needed for the end of this week. Let's hope it doesn't come back to haunt me, later...

I wrote the code for our guest wifi on a post it for a visitor.

Legacy code dating back to the 90s? I've got to say, I love TDD. That little PHP project I've been working on: 4200 lines of code, 8800 lines of test code. So, yeah, 2/3 of the code is not in production, and I could have got it into the state I wanted in about 1/2 the time. But I can make just about any change with fear in the future.

It's saved me SO much time when I work with so many spreadsheets.

I was trained as a Java developer in 2000, but never really got to use it much and haven't done any since around 2006. Can't remember any of it.

Have also tinkered a bit with PHP on my Wordpress websites, and did some JavaScript on Codecademy about three years ago.

I used to use VBA to create a spreadsheet from a MS Access database and enter data into the database. It's what you have to do when they won't give you the tools for the job.

Nothing software wise, but I hit a transformer with 120kV for 50mS to simulate a lightning strike. Twice.

I know, dull.

Shocking.

I've just finished yesterday's codeword in the i newspaper, does that count?
