Obsessive compulsive programmers..

Name: Anonymous 2009-09-01 1:02

Is there anyone else on /prog/ that tends to get a little obsessive compulsive about how their code is written? I do, and I think this will be my downfall. I am going to use PHP, and Perl as an example because they have similar syntax.

I absolutely hate the $ before scalars. They look incredibly ugly to me. A lot of people tell me "Well, it's better than not having it there, I guess." I don't think so.

You could just as easy write:

int a = 1234;
int b = ' this is a string';

print a+b # Or a.b


I am sometimes forced to use PHP by my employer, and I hate it's syntax.

I've once spent two days changing the font and the syntax highlighting color scheme on my editor
I sometimes choose to write a piece of code a certain way solely because it'll have a better layout.
I hate naming stuff. I'm never satisfied with the names I come up with.

Man, you suck.
