Software is not written in a language, but back in the day, adding non-code comments to tell whomever came after you to update the code what you were doing and why (whether that was your or someone else) was standard practice in my day. Not to mention naming variables was always something that played havoc if you didn't have naming conventions, not to mention two coders spoke different languages (granted I don't code any more). My guess is that is what he was referring to, so no need to have a clash of the coding egos and playing 'whose coding pe-nis is bigger', is there?
Thanks for the laugh
Yea, if you did any assembly or ladder logic work, then about the only way to decipher what was going on was the comments in the code .... assuming that someone had bothered to properly comment it of course.
What was true now, and has always been true, is that any coder looking at another coders software will immediately determine that it can't be fixed and must be entirely re-written.
Since flyingheelhook appeared to be using his coding pe-nis size to use as evidence that the Kemper software team should have an easy task to do a full featured editor, I felt it was fair game to point out that he was not the only phallic expert on the forum and that his specific phallic experiences were not necessary equivalent to those required for the current subject matter we are discussing. In less cryptic (and phallic) terms, I thought he was underestimating the difficulty of the task greatly.
In general, I refrain from criticizing other engineering groups. It just seems unprofessional.
You rarely hear one guitar player rip on another guitar players talent ..... at least it has been rare for me (and I have been around guitar players for a very long time). Again, it is just good etiquette for one professional to be polite to another professional.
While I am at it, please note that while the new editor Toast ME is a fantastic product, now there are people complaining about it as well. Different adapters don't work, this OS is supported, but this one is not, my computer does XYZ when I run it, etc, etc, etc.
Kemper can't afford to release a product which does any of these things. They must assume that such an editor will be used while performing and that any combination of front controls, foot controlls, or editor controls may come in simultaneously to their device. From an FMEA standpoint, this is a real PITA to do right.
To the Kemper software team ..... you guys do great work. Don't let anyone tell you different.
