Whilst, as a result of the infantile quality of arguments you field for your case, I believe not a single word you have posted. However, my ambition to write ever more reliable software demands that I ask you how you do it. I am just too curious, I guess. (Just in case you 'actually can' write totally reliable software, and are not some kind of enormous bullshitting troll.) Perhaps you can outline your techniques, and analysis, design, coding and testing methods, and what sort of coding speeds you get on various size projects (from say, a 10K Sloc application to say a typical, million line project,) that I might go home and read them. I would enjoy a rest from Date's Guide to Ingres, Stroustrop's C++ programming language, and Vol 10 of Club International for a couple of nights. Best regards, Ian Ian Ward's opinions only : ian@rsd.bel.alcatel.be Note there are no smileys, I actually do want to know how you do it.
