How Not To Code

February 26th, 2008 . by polyGeek

My wife is a huge fan of the show What not to wear on TLC. ( It’s essentially about showing women how to dress better. )

I think we – the Flash/Flex community – could use a show How not to code. I know that I’d watch it. And SeanTheFlexGuy is game. So lets do this thing.

I’ll help out with doing the encoding, video player stuff. But I don’t know squat about shooting or editing video.

The perfect hosts would be McCune and Deepa. But they are probably busy with their book. Maybe Ryan Stewart and Ted Patrick could do it in their copious spare time. They already travel all over the world for Adobe so they could just do one show per trip and we’d be set.

Unfortunately HowNotToCode.com is being squatted on. But HowNotToCode.org and .net are available.

By the way, I volunteer to be the first dweeb who gets lambasted for his coding practices, or lack thereof. I can see it now: the host would be banging his/her head against the wall saying, “I can’t believe you use the Flash Authoring tool to write code.”

If something here has proved valuable to you then feel free to drop a couple of bucks in the tip-jar.

Great idea! I all the time think what is correct way to write code.

Here’s one to all you flash freelancers… dont code in POLISH!.. or Russian or anything that your new homeland doesn’t speak natively? :D

There’s nothing worse, than a deadline for a blue chip client, and suddenly coming across a stressed out freelancers foreign language variables, and comments :)

To be fair, this has only happened to me twice. Sadly, the 2nd time was today…

An example I came across today was :

// TODO: ??????? ? ????????? ?????? Sound

So… something to do with Sound….. mmmm anyone? :D

@Matthew, ouch. That’s a new one for me. But good advise. I’ll bet it happens more and more all the time.
