At first I thought you were referring to the mini-girl-scout type brownie - the thought was unpleasant on any of so many levels.
Primarily, based upon you photo, imagining you in the little brown uniform, complete with beret and sash.
Excuse my while I was my eyes out with soap and go searching for a snack cake.
Meanwhile, I've decided to not even post this.

Good. Because I will not even read it.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Any time I hear of Cosmic Browies, I can't help but think of the Grateful Dead, which oddly enough are coming to town in a few weeks. I am certain the Cosmic Browies there will truly live up to their name (along with the magic burritos)

If you can remember, the burritos weren't that cosmic.

That name reminded me of space cake[^], and yes I'm Dutch 
Never ate space cake myself though.

I has been said many times that be able to code does not necessarily make you a programmer/developer. I just realised that I am one of those people who can write code that works pretty well. I'm not always proud of my methods (don't mean methods as in procedures) and design, most of the time I do whatever works. I get my code to work by any means necessary. I guess I am not a programmer/developer even though that is the my official position at work.
Question is who/what am I?

English is not my first language (my first language is VB). After googling the meaning of "pragmatic" all I can say is "thank you".

Explaining your perplexed state - as certainly VB doesn't lend itself to programming.

I suppose - if your original programming language was pig-Latin.

Well, VB can only do everything C# can. It only has no curly braces and semi-colons.
I guess VB isn't for you if you just love those curly braces and semi-colons...

Well - I suppose so - I mean it is certainly possible to bang in a nail with a rock. Per C# - M$ was hoping to use it to lure VB.NET users away - but I don't bother with C# when C++ is so handy.

Actually most basics are pretty indispensable! Try becoming a good programmer (or anything) without mastering the basics

Perhaps you're not familiar with the concept of "Management" ? ? ?
And, at the risk of being redundantly redundant: What about those people about whom it is said "He's good for nothing".

No one is good for nothing. He can always be used as a bad example.
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

Four words: "ON ERROR RESUME NEXT" 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
|
|
|
|
|
You're right, it does more than C#!
I've never used that one though
I wonder if it's just a shorthand for an empty catch block...
In that case C# supports it too 
|
|
|
|
|
... An empty catch block round each individual line of code... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
|
|

Used properly it allows you to code try catch blocks
:
:
:
on error resume next
perform_some_action_which_may_generate_an_error
on error goto 0
test_and_act_upon_err_object
:
:
:
unfortunately most people forget to do the testing part.
