Re: Saving the System i: Fight Rather Than Switch

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My point was that people seem to accept broken code as
OK, cause that's the way it's always been.

I think we have come a long way in beginning to accept
this crap as far superior by accepting the errors.

The earlier version called Code400 should have been banned
from pc's in general, but as long as it was considerd
"leading edge", it was ok ????

Sorry...I think something is wrong with that thought process.

I have been keeping two or three source programs open at one
time for a great many years. I typically use three or four
screens while writing code. (3488 and SEU)

My complaint is with you guys accepting broken as being
"normal".... Forget the style of programming.
