/prog/ - Hobbyists vs Professionals

How many of you are hobbyists and how many of you actually work in the field? I've been thinking that it always seems like the best programmers don't actually work in the field, it's just a hobby for them.

I got an internship last summer for $10 doing ASP.NET. This was my first professional coding experience.

I usually code around for shits, but I've been writing some apps recently as school breaks come and go.

I hate just about everything that's not Haskell, though.

I work as a full-fledged ENTERPRISE programmer. I write decent code, then I go back and turn it all into a multi-tiered pile of Singleton+Provider shit so that we can meet the target code coverage numbers in Emma through JMocking everything.

The funny part is that the parts of the program that people care about (like ``Does it show the correct data?'') aren't tested. It's just that adding the interfaces sufficiently bloats the `lines tested' metric to the point where all actual work is done within the `lines untested' margin.

You're damn right you work in the field, Toby. The cotton don't pick itself.
