Nope.
"Payment received"
is the happiest moment.
I'd rather be phishing!

Maximilien,

Agreed. Payment comes after post-installation testing by the client.
The difficult may take time, the impossible a little longer.

Debugging is the creative part. Successful Compiling is great, but I enjoy debugging a lot more. Debugging leads to better code as well as working code when you iterate through each debugging session. Creating the initial code is often a free flow of ideas when the algorithms and specifications are created. I treat programming like writing an article. I get the ideas down and assume I will be improving them iteratively. I don't like to over-think and block the code flow. This works well in a small group that can be creative. This would not work well for larger projects and larger groups, of course. I work in a small group with limited constraints on creativity. I try to stay object-oriented, concise, and well-documented. Coding should be fun and enjoyable. Maybe that is why I like small independent projects. Less structure, more fun!?
I suspect I am like many Code project members. That is why I keep coming back to Code project and sites like stack overflow. Or maybe I just had too much coffee this morning.

Compilation means nothing to me; that can be the easy part.
I am more worried about what compiled, that is still broken. Even with proper testing, bugs/errors gets through the cracks...never fails.

Successful compilation only means that the syntax is correct.
This would also compile successfully:
double sin30 = Math.Sin(30.0);
but with a completely wrong answer if the programmer got confused between degrees and radians.
Getting rid of logical errors is the tricky part, and is more time-consuming, and much more enriching.

"0 Errors" is nothing - that's easy.
"0 Errors, 0 Warnings" is better - but also pretty easy.
Passing all tests and actually doing what you wanted it to? Now that's a good moment!

Let's not forget zero code analysis errors, and zero style cop errors, and zero QA errors.

Get real - we'll never get zero QA errors here!

No, that's when I wonder what's still in there hiding.

Microsoft took that moment away from me. Now, there is this demon called "Intellisense" that will tell me what I did wrong almost before I do it. I have become a slave to this demon, obsessed with extinguishing it's Cylon-like red eye that peers at me from underneath even the most trivial of mistakes. And now, when I compile my code, I now longer have that joy of "compiled successfully" because even the mere idea of a failing is no longer possible under that watchful eye. And where there can be no pain of failure, there can also be no joy of success. Microsoft, I rue the day you brought these demon out of the depths of the digital hell otherwise known as Redmond. You have taken away my reason to live!

Nah, if people want don't want Intellisense, they should use a command line.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Nope. That just leads you into a false sense of security. You still have to run it to make sure it isn't gonna puke all over your system, which definitely bumps up against the "It compiles - SHIP IT!" paradigm.

Compiles mean nothing. This compiles:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int x = 10;
int y = 0;
int z = x / y;
}
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

|
|
|

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
}
Yes! It does compile with zero errors
