I routinely post code here when I don't have the time
or energy to fix it up myself. Someone always grabs it
and a day later e-mails me the "corrected" code with all
those features I should have added in the first place.
If I'm just searching for bugs, I announce that the
program "works" or is "the best program I've ever
written".
I've been thinking of myself lately as more of an
"idea person" rather than a "programmer". It's easier
on the ego. :-)

You know, even with as much free code as there is out there,
I find that not too many people use it. I don't really know
why. Perhaps it is just hard to read other people's code,
or maybe you don't really understand it unless you write
your own (my reason for writing a linked list rather than
using the one Beau Legeer uses in the Advanced Programming
classes). In any case, I found I had to write a book to
call any attention at all to the programs I offer.
Now that I think about it, maybe I should revisit the
notion of program quality. :-)
Cheers,
David
