"Programming needs a design and concepts, without them you just write a throwaway code. While mean you'll get nothing"
Is that right?
Yes, sure.
I don't think so.
I don't know.

Just GET it OFF out my mind!!
I think that sentence could use some work.

It sounds reasonable though you can have a good design and concepts and still write "throwaway code"
Oh, and writing "throwaway code" does not necessarily mean that you'll get nothing. For example, while learning the interface to some library you might write "throwaway code" to get familiar with it, but you will certainly gain from that experience. Likewise, a prototype might eventually get discarded, but the act of creating it might give you valuable insight.

Poll please xD

"Programming needs a design and concepts, without them you just write a throwaway code."
The part of about "While mean you'll get nothing" does not make sense and effectively makes your statement express two opinions.
That said, what do you hope to gain from a poll?

At least it's not a public poll. So no-one will actually know if I'm a noob or not -- I hope I voted for the right one!
I don't agree you get nothing by writing code and throwing it away...
1. You shouldn't throw it away, archive it for a rainy day
2. You learn :-)
What do you do with your code on rainy days?
Not sure I want to know ...
All the buzzt!

Of course programs need a design, at least in your head. How do you go about coding something without even knowing what you are going to write?

Obviously you haven't used Windows Vista? . Sorry, couldn't resist!
Sigh everyone ignores NT 4.0 -- that was the best Windows ever.
What puzzles me is why they based 2000 on the NT kernel and not the 9x kernel? NT was a flop, and 9x seemed to be good.
