Programming Style

[Ekamu]

There are no two people who have the same mind, even if their ways of thinking are similar.
Everyone has their own way on how to interpret and then solve problems, some people for example like coding in a very systematic and well structured way and order things in a particular way while others like coding in a more open-ended approach and do many little things in a somewhat scattered/inventive way that they then bring together in the end.
You're code is a part of you, every line you write, every expression and variable and logic you create has an element of your own unique thinking style.

What kind of programmer are you?

[Nixola]

I'm an intuitive programmer, I write down whatever code's in my mind, when it's in my mind. It often leads to breaking something, though, and then I have to carefully 'hunt' my errors.

[jjmafiae]

i think im inventive i usually improve my old methods.

But i might also be a bit creative too.

[Ekamu]

I'm inventive also but I like to learn from looking at other code and then after understanding the logic do it my way. I used to be more destructive but I got really frustrated and changed styles.

Maybe as you're skill increases your style changes to something more suited to how you generally think.

[Ranguna259]

I'm a really logical person, no only in programming but in general things, I just go with reason and logic all the way throught.

I'm shit. I code crap and I talk through my ass when I try to help other programmers with their code.

That's the best style yet!

You missed one word though, you're not shit you're dope shit. lol

Anyway we grow as we code right? Don't feel bad about it.

ocd: spend way too much time trying to design an overcomplicated structure, get too lazy to actually code, then dump the project

Sounds like me except it's not laziness, I just can't code.
We're all so egotistical.

[Ensayia]

I lean the furthest in the direction of inventive.

I usually either pick apart code to understand it, or follow someone's directions to the letter until I understand the core concepts and then build my way up from there. I often don't explore unless I have a solid base understanding of what I'm working with. Often times this can be a hindrance, but usually when I finally do write code it's solid.

I really should break out of the box and just explore a little without knowing for sure. I think it's what holds me back as a programmer. I;m about ready to get my feet wet with C++, so I have a feeling it will happen.
