Forgetfulness and 6-months-from-now-youby oakbox (Chaplain) |

Can anyone explain to me WHY I must constantly forget and relearn that:
is functionally equivalent to ??? Because every couple of years I will become frustrated with typing out the error check on the various statement handles. So frustrating, a real smack-to-the-forehead kind of moment. And I think it ties in with why I write code the way I do. I WRITE IT OUT. I take the time to format and indent and line up the code because I have learned 6-months-in-the-future-me will really appreciate it and I don't want him cussing at me, retroactively. Just needed to vent a little bit, please return to your regularly scheduled activities.
