The Stupid Poll For Web Developers

TheSealPortalTeam · Feb 19th, 2008, 14:56

I find myself doing these things all the time, so in the hope of writing an article for my blog and for the benefit of all of you, I need you opinion to find out which stupid thing you do the most.

Talk to the computer aloud? 'Ohh for *********** why are you not working'? Is usually what I say whilst PHP developing.

TheSealPortalTeam · Feb 19th, 2008, 15:11

Ya but I think everyone does that, (especially for windows programmers the famous, Die Microsoft)

not intended for harm but for a joke.

I think I'm on my 9th monitor

Just kidding.

TheSealPortalTeam · Feb 19th, 2008, 15:22

Lol, I know one of my developers who lost 5 monitors, because of his bad luck with code.

This is an excellent poll. I always leave the semi colon off in php and javascript

TheSealPortalTeam · Feb 19th, 2008, 15:30

Ya I think only well experienced javascripters don't forget the semicolon, because I always miss one or two.

I always put them in, in VBscript ha.

I always forget to put the "using namespace" in C#.

Yes I see how that could be a problem.

Hey you all have been giving positive feedback into my poll, I'll need more results tho. If I want to right that article for webforumz.

I leave out the ALT tag

How about an option for, "I describe the alt attribute as a tag".

I forget the semi-colon for java script

You don't need semicolons in javascript, unless you write multiple statements on the same line.

Lots of people use semicolons as end-line punctuation in javascript, but there's no need.

Despite there being no need, I like to do it. It seems neater.

Looking at the poll results, I am totally surprised by how many times people lose hours of work because they forget to save their code! I thought that only happened to me.

...probably because you are familiar with other languages (PHP) where it is necessary.
