Signs That Your are Bad Programmer
Brilliant writeup on signs that you are a bad programmer by Damien Katz. Two of my favorites are:
# You model all your code in UML before you write it.
Enthusiastic UML modeling is typically done by those who aren’t strong coders, but consider themselves software architects anyway. Modeling tools appeal most to those who think coding can be done in conference room by manipulating little charts. The charts aren’t the design, and will never be the design, that’s what the code is for.
and
# Your users are stupid. Really stupid.
You can’t believe how stupid they are, they constantly forget how to do simplest things and often make dumb mistakes with your applications. You never consider maybe it’s your application that’s stupid because you’re incapable of writing decent software.
Seriously, users are not stupid. If someone cannot do the simplest thing in your application or program , then you have serious problems. If I ever have to have written instructions or have to point to a user what to do first, then I have failed.
