I thought that might get a reaction.
But, my opinion still stands.
In the bad old days of 8086 through to at least 80386, you were much better off learning assembler.
Once Windows became ubiquitous, things got more difficult, but by then, we **should** have had better languages available than C and it's derivatives.
The few that were viable seem to have been killed off by the C people to protect their their pet little ecosystem
(But that does sound a bit like a conspiracy theory)

No, I am NOT posting programming question , the post is clearly marked as "rant".
The unnamed site , to protect the guilty , rejected the attached code as " poorly formatted".
until I deleted #ifdef ...,#endif. Then it passed.
I am a believer that Alan Cooper was right when he stated that coders will take the path of least resistance / use less brain , when coding.
(Not to be confused with KISS...)
Apparently adding " post it anyway , WE can make an exception " would indirectly indicate that
the code is void of better analysis, hence more code / brain usage would be required.
void SettingsDialog::closeEvent( QCloseEvent* event )
{
#ifdef RETILE
text = "\t#i#ifdef RETILE \n";
text += "TRACE START Retile mdiArea subwindows .... ";
text += " ";
text += Q_FUNC_INFO;
text += QString::number(__LINE__);
qDebug().noquote() << text;
#endif
text += " ";
text += "\n\t test send text to child";

You could have simply indented the # lines instead of deleting them. Hashdent is bad formatting in my opinion.

I would suspect more that it has some auto-formatting code which did not like the above line inside the other block.

Patient: "OK...er... give me the good news"
Doctor: "you have a fatal cancer and have 24 hours to live"
Patient: "Doc, if that's the GOOD NEWS, what's the BAD news?"
Doctor: "I should have called you yesterday"

I think I have submitted this one but here it is
Man goes into hospital with with a bad leg.
Dr: "That looks bad. Time to go to Surgery."
After surgery, patient asks "How did it go?"
Dr: "I have some bad news and some good news."
Patient: "What's the good news?"
Dr: "The leg is getting better."
Patient: What's the bad news?"
Dr: "We cut off the wrong leg."
Grrrr

The classic version in Norway goes:
"I have some bad news and some good news for you.
We were supposed to remove your left leg.
But we made a mistake, removing your right leg,
and we had to remove the left leg afterwards.
We are sorry, but you have no legs any more.
But there are some good news:
The guy in the next bed wants to buy your slippers."
Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

The doctor gave me six months to live. I didn't pay him, so he gave me another six months.

I don't remember where I first heard it, but it isn't original with me.
