Sometimes I'm perusing development subreddits and I get a little depressed by what i find. As an example, recently someone asked if there was a library that could drive 8 stepper motors at a time. The answer is virtually any C++ library can if you create 8 instances, but they wanted something that would handle making all the motors operate in tandem somehow, and ummm no. you have to code it yourself. Cooperatively thread everything in a master loop, use a state machine. Back when I learned to code solving problems like this meant you were a coder. Now it seems like people just expect that there's a library that will solve whatever problem they're after solving. What are you even doing? Are you coding or are you just gluing things you don't understand together?
Edit: Guy responded to tell me I was incorrect. He's still looking for that magic library. 
And then i log out of reddit for a week.
Am I just getting old and crotchety? Was it always like this and I just didn't notice? Has the Internet just made it more apparent?

No, it wasn't always like this. We used to take great pride in DIY stuff, even with code, to do things no one else is doing. I preferred projects that experts said couldn't be done, like the time HP told me that there's no way to connect HP computers from two different divisions together. That was fun, and yes, that was a long time ago.
But since Easter is coming soon, and you sound like you need another project that's more entertaining, here's one for you: Peeps[^]

Roger, I'm having a tough day today, as it was exactly one year ago that my mom passed away. On top of that, the nimrods at work have figured out how to make a piece of code crash that's been working since the dawn of time, and I didn't even write the miserable POS. It's my job to fix it, however.
This made me laugh. Thanks, buddy.

I'm glad it helped some, Gary. It's been 7 years since I lost mine, and I still occasionally think about calling her. Strange how memory works. As a curiosity, she passed on the exact same day as her husband, 19 years before!
Hang in there - this, too, will pass.

You are fine. Internet does makes it more apparent.
Here is my take and nothing new. The proliferation of software (and hardware) products for internet, local net, gaming, business, streaming entertainment, etc. has made programming a super wide-spread requirement, faster the better both in execution and implementation. Disciplined programming, if any, is taught to some degree in computer courses, but executed more or less by dictates of management or senior programming staff. But I am old and crotchety as well, so I may be missing some things.

The internet makes lazy programmers expect others to do the work they are supposed to be doing.
As others have mentioned, refer to QA.

Have you wandered into the world of Python, proponents seem to have the same attitude. The really shocking thing was that corporate seemed to feel this was a legitimate way of creating a solution.

Use hardware logic to do serial to paralel conversion sending 8 identical (if desired) bit streams out to 8 steppers. Or just fake it all in Microcode.

I think they were trying to get them synchronized, but not necessarily copying each other.

If synchronization is needed, how about writing a MIDI "instrument" to "play" the motors? MIDI has built-in synchronization, and all you need to do is specifiy the timing of events.

I offered the guy this: GitHub - codewitch-honey-crisis/htcw_ramp[^] which is a simple class that allows you to ramp between two values at a given step and time interval.
I used it to control multiple steppers of the exact kind he is using for an HVAC system.
He told me that was "wrong" and seemed pretty upset with me for even trying to help.

I offered him a simpler solution which worked for me when I faced a similar problem with an HVAC system I was tasked with writing firmware for.

Are you over thirty?? If so, in this industry, you are old. 
Once you get past fifty, you become ancient. You now have the right to be crotchety.
Me? I am over seventy and thus, I am a living fossil!! At this point, crotchety defines you. ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)
