Programmers in Hell .. Programmers in Heaven

Does it happen to you when u are working as programmer

there are one of those days when everything .. absolutely everything related to computers goes wrong

and when u are working on a system... you get those hard problems or some code not working properly
or something hard to do, but you need to finish it in a very short time delay

i donno if it happens to you
but sometimes in my life (2 times so far)
i was swearing i am going to quit programming
i was cursing at everything
was feeling so down and depressed
i was in hell

but of course after few hours, i solved the hard problem i was facing
and then..
i was like in heaven
today i woke up with energy and came back to work knowing that i did something kewl yesterday

does that happen to you fellow programmers ?
or is it just me ?

maybe you can share your hell and heaven moments here
so we can help you solve it.. or tell you to take it easy and stuff

Re: Programmers in Hell .. Programmers in Heaven

the Drunk Programmer song :

101 bug in the code, debug it , fix it , compile it again
102 bug in the code, debug it , fix it , compile it again
103 bug in the code, debug it , fix it , compile it again
104 bug in the code, debug it , fix it , compile it again
105 bug in the code, debug it , fix it , compile it again

loop until = 0
oops instead of doing - , doing +
that is how a programmer gets drunk from having hard times at programming lool

Re: Programmers in Hell .. Programmers in Heaven

well well
I perfectly understand. Being stuck with a bug somewhere in your 1327 lines of codes is close to hell.
"khalas next time I'll use objects... next time i'll use java (or whatever)..."

I hope youre not drinking alone :) it s not good!

beh! this is why I love programming.... debugging is great lol, although at time usually ajax for me it can be hell. Had a problem with ajax, took me a whole day to find out that it wasn't working because i had duplicate id tags on the page :@

i have a drinking buddy . noone close to a programmer or a to a Geek

hehehe lool well we need to cheer up some times :)

- The Programmers' Cheer -
Shift to the left, shift to the right!
Pop up, push down, byte, byte, byte!

after all, one day we are all gonna die or in the programmers words :

First we get deallocated
Our values become undefined
Our structues break down
We become WORM food...
We start dropping bits........
our social system resources are released

Re: Programmers in Hell .. Programmers in Heaven

hehe when u have funny or weird  times at programming you start to like those thoughts lool

anyways .. ana halla2 evrything is going nice with me
except some troubles in Crystal Reports
as usual crystal report  tries to give me hard times
but in the end.. i always beat the devil soul of Crystal report and i  manage to get the good results, but of course after having a heart attack and almost nervous breakdown
anyway... today it is sunday.. monday i will be back to work
then i will start crystal report stuff
till then.. i am enjoying my time :)
