Ever get excited about a piece of code?

[Drakkon]

So everyone remeber that movie antitrust where he gets all the snippets of code and gets all exicited about them? I thought nah that would NEVER be me...thats just too corny. How can you look at a piece of code and just get all like "WOW".

Well I came to that point today. I got this stupid script that my partner developed and it was taking 15 minutes just to process and i was getting fed up. So I decided I had to be able to find something better. So I play around with it for a few hours, doing what i can, saving write routines and db access routines in one area, processing all sorted out nicely, sit back and say okay this might work. Run the script...15 SECONDS later its done processing. I was like wtf this cant be right, run it again, 12 second this time. Look at the output, input, everything is working EXACTLY as it had before only faster. Just had to kick back and say "WOW" after that one

CLIFFS NOTES:
Took a 15 minute script and brought it down to 15 seconds.
I was wowed.

zzzzzzzz

huzzah

 

[amish]

the only code that i have ever been excited about is: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start.

Its sad that we need cliffs notes for 7 lines of text broken down in 2 paragraphs... You people are lazy :frown:

I want to see the code. I'll let you know if it wows me.

Real time embedded systems. The first time I wrote a "task notification server" unit of software. Awesome concept.

UML: Wrote a server in C++ entirely in a UML application (Software through pictures). Had the application generate the software. Compiled the units of code and it worked!

Been downhill ever since.

I get excited everytime the code works!

 

[Descartes]

All the damn time.

I hope for the sake of all humanity that that is a joke.

I got excited when i got my code to run at work, but then it quickly turns to sorrow when i realize that the porgram i wrote is only 1 of 4. Right now i am 3.5/4, and when i am done, i will be exicyed b/c it's finally over.

Oh wait this is the blood code: A, B, A, C, A, B, B

WTF is that code though, it looks familiar?

 

[amoeba]

that is obviously the konami code.

The MK blood code is ABACABB for the genesis.

 

[Jack Ryan]

wow
