How do you know what you don’t know?
Are you a good Java programmer, a good C programmer, or whatever? I don’t care. I just want to know that you know how to put an algorithm together, you understand data structures, and you know how to document it.
So basically that’s what I did—data structures first. Rough division into modules. My belief is still, if you get the data structures and their invariants right, most of the code will just kind of write itself.
Not knowing something doesn’t mean you’re dumb, it just means you don’t know it yet.
I always wish people would comment more, though the thing that makes me cringe is when the comment is the name of the function rephrased. Function’s called push_stack and the comment says, “This pushes to the stack.” Thank you.
No one is ever going to ask for a new feature in a screen saver. “I wish it was more yellow.” You’re not going to get a bug report like that. It is what it is. So that’s why I’ve always written those for fun. They make this neat result and you don’t have to think about them too much. They don’t haunt you.
Yeah. At the end of the day, ship the fucking thing! It’s great to rewrite your code and make it cleaner and by the third time it’ll actually be pretty. But that’s not the point—you’re not here to write code; you’re here to ship products.
