RE: What if your code is ugly but it works? Amateur python programmers journey.
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I recently found I had my PhD C++ code on my laptop (I hadn't thought I still had this). It was written on a Silicon Graphics machine in the late 90's. That code formed part of my PhD thesis and even though I was a Physicist working in a Physics department, because I used C++ instead of Fortran my boss had me defend my thesis in front of a full on Computer Science Prof. My code was OK but not cutting edge... I scrapped through that bit but thank heavens my code was well commented!

Finding lost/old works is amazing. It is like a treasure you never valued before. I didn't know you were a physicist. That is awesome. I think physicists are among the smartest people we have.
Once I tried to read the C++ book, I gave up in couple of days. That's why I like python. Much simpler than any other programming languages and can get simple tasks done.
