Why I hate computer programming, part two
I’ve spent the last week working on a new problem and finally had a breakthrough. After staring at the program and changing a bunch of lines of code, I found that in a couple places I had changed the variable “$description” to $descriptoin.”
Sure I could also learn how to spell and type, but I wish my computer would cut me a little slack. The lesson: writing computer programs is not like playing horseshoes.
