Administrators Cloaked Posted November 27 Administrators Posted November 27 Well looks like FTL got in on telling me I don't know what I'm talking about. Notice he has to mention that he has "dabbles in" programming for over 30 years. Way to drop that in there to make yourself look "important". In reality you look like a fool. Here is his shit in all its glory. Quote @AWS way to demotivate the devs. If you really must make negative comments like this, then at least be accurate. Chris buried your argument here yet you laugh instead of conceding the point. Having dabbled with programming over 30 years ago, I for one appreciate the time and effort that it takes to develop a large software project like XF, even when progress seems slow at times. The stuff I did was routines and functions with only the odd small app that I created as a hobby. It often didn't take long to create the basic function, but then fleshing it out with error trapping, refinements and debugging took a helluva lot longer and was a significant effort. Clearly developing XF is on another level of complexity, time and effort, even with today's modern development environments which I didn't have, so that should be kept in mind when criticising the devs for apparent "slow progress". Finally, what I find interesting is that despite PCs being a lot more advanced 30 years later, modern PCs work in exactly the same way as they did back then, even across platforms / architectures, not just the x86 world. Therefore, I'm quite comfortable looking at modern code and processes as none of the principles have changed. What a tool.
