I kinda know how to code. Just kinda. I've written a few programs before. Just a few. No big deal.
Anyway, I read that article above and I completely agree with him. I don't profess to be some expert or MIT 6.001 master, but I know a thing or two about coding and it saddens me when I sit in my Java class at school. There are so many people in the class that just don't know what they're talking about, but try to pass themselves off as incredibly amazing programmers, because they wrote their blog in PHP and have Redhat on their laptop.
I sit in my class and listen to these kids, kids who I'm going to end up competing against in the job market when I get out of college, brag about how awesome they are at programming, then in the same breath, complain about how the exam was "bullshit" and "too hard" because they had to manually write code without the use of a text editor. Just really pisses me off, because it just shows me that these people don't really belong in the CS field to begin with. Maybe I'm just elitist though.
I know this is a C/C++ thread, but this is as good a place as any to post this, if anyone wants to check it out, since I will probably never continue development of this code, so here it is, the infamous INTL v4 code. Without a database to complement it, it really can't do much but sit there and look pretty, but feel free to use it for whatever you want.
