Does your spouse nag you while you passionately code?

Well I don't know how often it happens with you guys, but whenever I am close to solving the issues in the code that time the nagging of my girlfriend becomes excessive.

Which makes me think have I actually been spending so much time coding, or my girlfriend is jealous of my love for unix Smilie

I wish when she would you yell I could use the sleep function on her . Lol just kidding ...

Thank god she doesn't know a thing about unix , else would definitely rm -rf * everything out of anger


I want to know whether you guys face the same and how you handle it?

A few thoughts that might help you:-
  • You might need to work on your interfacing
  • Negotiating access is critical before attempting IO
  • Ensure you use the agreed port
  • Take virus protection seriously
  • Try not to panic the server in any way
  • Interrupts can cause panics, so ensure you have the firewall closed
  • Server processor peaking at 100% active is a good thing
  • Make sure that there is a graceful disconnect in all conversations
  • Scheduled activities on a timer are not as good as following a processing flow in sequence
  • IT promises rarely live up to customer expectations and can cause resentment
  • Beware of setting a "while true" loop unless you can handle the performance requirements
  • Don't just try an upgrade for the fun of it. Commit to your choice as conflicts caused can be irreparable
  • Beware of becoming obsolete yourself

Some people say that men substitute inadequacies by purchasing a big car and perhaps driving it in & out of the garage, but most probably just polish what they've got.

I could go on, but they degrade and get more offensive, so I should stop there from the point of decency. I hope that this has not offended anyone.

A British lady or gentleman would never discuss such things in public. Smilie

P.S. I drive an ageing VW Passat Estate Smilie It never gets put in the garage and doesn't even get washed, let alone polished. Smilie

It's also important to know how to use re-entrant code, how to properly handle ad hoc requirements, and of course what to do with sticky bits.

You should also consider having a backup server, outsourcing, a disaster recovery plan in case the primary server finds out about the backup server.

You also need to consider:-
  • Network address conflicts
  • Input requirements
  • Stack overflow
  • Avoiding a system dump
  • Not flushing your buffers too early
  • Avoiding memory contamination from old processes
  • Mount order
  • Expected system services
  • Use of the pretty GUI
  • Use of a more terse but robust TUI
  • Resource allocation
  • Multi-threading
  • Soft links or hard links

Worry about getting the boot

More worryingly, think about hardware diagnostics if you have a failure.


This is all a little male-oriented. Would any of the ladies care to chip in to bring balance to the debate, or are we just being puerile?
