I fixed an bug in a Sepples program today!

As it turned out, someone (possibly not me) forgot to put a semicolon after the closing bracket of a class definition in a header file that was included by several other files, and it was shouting three hundred error messages at me about how that it couldn't find an overload for std::basic_string<_Elem, _Traits, _Ax>::append [with _Elem=wchar_t, _Traits=std::char_traits<wchar_t>, _Ax=std::allocator<wchar_t>] and how this and that were inaccessible member variables, and how incomplete type data was against the law, and that default-int was not allowed. Then I had a flash of intuition and fixed it all with a single click of my keyboard.

It felt amazing. I felt amazing. I finally understand why this whole C++ thing still has such a following.

>>1
Why did they check in code that could not even compile?

>>6

Because good programs are written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.

>>7
Good programs should be written for machines to execute.
