Seven deadly sins of programming
Eric Gunnerson’s list of programming no-no’s.
Some people have remarked that all of these are judgement calls, and really more a matter of aesthetics than actual sins.
That is true. I didn’t include things like “naming your variables i, j, & k” as sins, because I don’t think that’s a real problem in most of the code I’m likely to have to deal with, and there really isn’t much argument over whether it’s a good idea or not.
It perhaps would have been better to title this series, “Seven things Eric would really prefer that you don’t do in code that he has to work with”, but that is both ungainly and lacking the vitality of a post with the term “sin” in it.
