Superstition or Understanding?
Reading some more of Code Complete tonight, ran across a nice little blurb about a difference between hobbyists and professional programmers. If you write code which you "feel" is right, but the compiler or the hardware just isn''t doing it correctly, you''re in the realm of superstition. If you actually understand every line of your code and what it does, you have an understanding. 95% of the time it''s the programmers code that is wrong, not the hardware or the compiler.
Nothing is ever right just because it seems to work. If you don''t know why it works, it probably doesn't - you just don''t know it yet!
