Sounds like shit and/or contemporary art.

The pleasure of being Windowsed inside

I'm having to write a short notice ISA 2006 http filter for work. I love windows programming so much. Everything is so logical.

LOoL

Every windows code I've ever written always has a significant chunk of code that I've copied from the internet or sample somewhere, and I don't really understand what it does. Just for like initialize some MFC/abstract bullshite. Then there's my functions I don't avoid changing anything outside them.

POSIX is much nicer.

Just because you're too stupid to understand an API doesn't mean it's bad.[1]

WinAPI is over-engineered, but I like it since it lets you do just about anything. For common tasks, it's always nice to build a few nice easy to use abstractions over them.

too stupid to understand an API
Ask a .NET developer how a binary tree or linked list structure works and they will say something like this: "uhhhhhhhhhh. it works by typing import System.LinkedList".
Silly API babies are completely clueless.

.NET != WinAPI
There's plenty of APIs which work with more advanced structures or which require linked lists.

Well, considering the average quality of Windows software, I'd think there's something wrong with the API. (By "quality" I don't mean "user-visible" quality, albeit the "please compile and work" hack jobs end up leaking into the end-user experience sooner or later)

I can count with two hands the software makers I'd trust to produce half-decent Windows code. Everything else... well, you're lucky if it even works when Windows isn't installed in C:\WINDOWS.

Well, it's true, there's a lot of crap software out there, but I usually blame that on the general incompetency of the masses. Windows being the most popular desktop OS, you're bound to attract the most stupid developers wanting to make a quick buck.

Ask a LISP developer how a binary tree or linked list structure works and they will say something like this: "uhhhhhhhhhh. it works by typing (cons head tail)".
Hot naked coeds are completely clueless.

You're just grouping people in mutually exclussive binary groups. The world doesn't work like that. I'd except most Lispers learned other languages before they came onto Lisp.

I know Lisp, C, x86 asm and some VHDL. I know very well how things work at the lowest levels as well as how one can abstract things at the meta-linguistic level.

Do you mean 10 or 1024?

I just realized that if I wrote some software which was going to access C:\WINDOWS I would probably hard-code the path too and I feel kind of bad about it :(
