Windows -- there are nice things about having a native bash shell, but msysgit's is getting pretty good, and Xcode is so awful that it drives me to just use vim on OSX (which is fine, I like vim and all, but that's saying more about Xcode than anything else). Whereas VC6 is fine and usable, as is VC2005... Comment...

Reply on May 20 2012, 10:03pm:

I programmed an AVR microcontroller to sample the knobs/switches, and send that via RS-232 (via a separate chip that handled the RS-232 voltage requirements) to the PC. Comment...

Asked by Rodrigo (201.86.67.x) on May 19 2012, 1:59pm
Reply on May 20 2012, 10:04pm:

It dates back to wanting to cram code onto an 80 column screen, and not wanting to keep functions light. I sort of regret this, as I do often find it difficult to see what lines up with what. Oops. Comment...

Question: Would you be as good if you learned programming at your current age, or is it a young man's game to learn it as well as you did?

Reply on May 20 2012, 10:05pm:

I have no way of knowing, really, but I would tend to think that when you start doesn't matter,(i.e. if I was 50 and had programmed for the same amount of time as I have now, I'd be a similarly competent programmer). Comment...

Question: It's still not fair to neglect those users in such way, methinks. If OLGA were freeware, then I'd understand. But it is not.
