Other views on programming sins...

At the beginning of the sin-tacular, I asked for people to come up with their own lists. And here they are:

My original plan was to comment on some of the individual sins that people listed, but they're all great - you should go and read them all.

I was a bit intrigued, however, by Chris' comment (or should that be "Chris' Comments' comment?):

Hey, Eric, what are the 7 Heavenly Virtues of Programmers?

Hmm...

A truly virtuous programmer recognizes when it is time to turn off the computer and spend time with your family, friends, and/or dog!!!

in no particular order

a truly virtuous coder

... knows what they want to build - they write their tests and comments first
... knows what profilers and coverage tools are and would find it difficult to do their job without either
... trys to understand the business problem they are helping to solve
... moves code down into a general library the instant they encounter a need for any function or even line of code that they know they have written before
... actually grasps why "switch" and "enum" are so wrong
... believes that build systems/releases/support structures/plans/bug tracking are as important a part of being a coder as writing code is
... builds specific code first but then generalises instead of copying and pasting when another requirement appears
