at a conference i talked with some nokia devs, two funny stories.

1) the N9 (the meego phone) will never be released in an english speaking country as marketing fears the tech blogger will write even more crap about their strategy change - as it is a quiete decent phone

2) even though the code for the N9 they do not get any test devices, the code in a very rudimentary ide only, as there is a no Meego phone for devs anymore policy

on the other hamd, he was quiete drunk and frustrated so i do not know how mich of it is true

my ruleset is much more liberal

signs that you are a good coder: you enjoy coding, you enjoy a good piece of code

signs that you are a bad coder: you don't enjoy coding, you can not appreciate beautiful code

if you enjoy coding it jut doesnt matter if anyone else thinks that your code sucks. you will get better. if you hate your job (programming) then you code stinks and will get worse.

in my careere i went from good to great to bad to i dont code anymore to good
