I very rarely program.
I've written...hrm, let's see...a DoS tool in perl, a roulette program in javascript, a fake antivirus in DOS that wipes your hard drive, and some accounting program in c++
Oh, and some other shit in perl. A magic 8-ball and other pointless crap like that.
I remember once coding something in Visual Basic 6 where it was just an exe that showed pictures of kittens. In the background, it net stopped a load of services and processes related to antivirus, and had netcat in the same directory only with a .dll extension instead of .exe. The kitten pictures program would rename it to .exe and open a shell with it. And people on kazaa actually used to download and run it. About as subtle as a brick through a window.
I can feel the hate of all the o]EXPERT PRoGRAMMERS[/o] after reading this post.

I know you're trolling, but you know that on Lisp Machines, the GC was quite slow (unlike modern Lisp GC which are quite fast, no matter what you think of them(without having used them obviously)), so people used to turn it off and just reboot the machine every day or so.

I wouldn't call it "trolling", I was just making a joke in response to >>12. I use Lisp and I'm not the anti-GC troll.

Nothing new. All C/C++ programs use the same garbage collection algorithm even today: everyone had to reboot hs Linux every few days or so.
I write ~50kb of code daily. I don't write programs to maintain/sell/distribute: most programmes you'll see is source code from my projects, which i don't distribute to anyone. I program for the sake of art.
If i want to explore an algorithm, i program it, test it and move on to more interesting programs, even if the program is incomplete.
I copy/pasted code from the interwebs to copy stuff to the clipboard using Win32API. There wasn't a single NULL argument to any function I used. You lied to me, /prog/!
