  • Something else: The 1st computer I saw was in the 80's @10yrs old. I started programming @15 on a toy laptop in BASIC, then @16 I got 1st PC, a 486 with Win3.11 and moved into QBasic, VB, C#. BA Comp Eng. @35. Was an Electrician, Machine Maint. Facilities ENG.
  • Test practice now: Just look to see if what I wrote does what I want it to do.
  • Target system: I'm not sure
  • Dev tools: Visual Studio E^2 IAR Arduino IDE Unity3D
  • Build time: 1-5 minutes
  • Coding standard: I've been prog. for 28 years. I've been a hobbyist, until 1.5yrs ago. So I've not used a standard.
  • Function too long: when it repeats itself, or my finger gets tired of scrolling.
  • Code reviews: Not what they should be.
  • Code time: 45
  • Test time: 5
  • Debug time: 50
  • Favorite thing about dev: Time disappears, I get on an emotional rollercoaster with lows and highs. It keeps me engaged.
  • Least favorite thing about dev: That I eventually get tired and have to stop.
  • Tdd knowledge: Just the very little of your book I've read so far. It sounds very interesting.
  • Why are you attending: Company encouragement, but I want to learn anything from experienced programmers I can.
