It's clearly stated, I used the words, "For Example".
I'm not saying that it's also your situation. I'm giving a scenario wherein you can tell something inside your mind without getting your boss mad. After all, were talking about bad tempers, not the code, I guess?
In order to have him controlled, being creative on constructing your sentences and tone will be very helpful. 
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

If you do that when you make a few coding mistakes, what will you do when something really serious happens?
|
|
|
|

Often times when there's a serious situation I've been able to keep a level head, which is strange since I focus under pressure. Guessing working from home isn't healthy for me and I'm suited for an office environment.

I wouldn't want to work with someone who got violent with his/her PC when coding wasn't going well...maybe being at home is best?
|
|

Possibly better to work in the office where I've got a more controlled mind, Working at home gives opportunity for my mind to let loose, which is possibly the cause of why I wrote this up.

Smashing a computer over coding you're doing for fun?
I get pretty annoyed when I'm playing sport and having a bad day, but these days I restrain myself from damaging equipment – it doesn't really work to get rid of the frustration and then you have to replace or repair the equipment.

I think you are taking your work (and programming) far too seriously.

Maybe you should get one of these?[^]
That said, there have been times when I've come close to doing some damage. Fortunately I've stopped myself and stepped away from the desk (and sometimes the job) and taken the time to chill out and look at what it is that is causing a reaction of violence. Tolle (and others) have said it well: you can either accept the circumstances, try to change them, or leave them. The first is the hardest, especially when the $$$ are the only reason I'm dealing with the crap to begin with.

There is a difference between bad temper and passion. So many business environments are focused around not upsetting any one no matter how wrong they are. Which in my opinion is worse than a simple disagreement. If there were more shouting in software development then there would be more code.

responding in the VB thread below, I mentioned our current application had GOTOs in it.
As I removed one recently, I thought I'd check again.
NINE goto statements.
In a C# WPF MVVM application.
This is my favourite:
if (e.Key == Key.Delete || e.Key == Key.Back)
goto L1;
else if (e.Key < Key.D0 || e.Key > Key.Z
|| (e.Key == Key.C && Keyboard.Modifiers == ModifierKeys.Control)) {
e.Handled = true;
return;
}
L1: this.Text = this.txtLookup.Text;
I feel a little dirty, now.

Jail?! That's too good for him...
It's clearly someone who knows VB but do not knows programming...

It looks like the code has decompiled and then passed off as their own. You often see lots of GOTO's in decompiled code.

Interesting explanation for otherwise inexplicable coding.

You wanna put the joke icon on that one - people who know you might think you have turned to the dark side...or is that the dumb side?

It wasn't a bad language. If it was a bad language, there wouldn't have been such a demand for it in the business community. It did exactly what it set out to do - make developing business applications quick.

Demand doesn't make something "not bad" - see cigarettes, the first generation Fiat Panda, and Sharknado 2.

That what you say - but in 1999 when we went to Microsoft they sold us VB6 to develop the new version of our ERP. It was catastrophic...
It was a group - so-called - specialist in distributed network applications (they called it DNALab), and they almost ruined our reputation with that suggestion...
So the fact that even Microsoft didn't know for what VB is good, but they tried it on everyone without mercy...

In 1999 Microsoft was selling VB6 for any business problem. It was their language of the day.
