#101483 - Bad Practice
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Guy,


Like you, I program 8052 chips as a hobby, but I am a QA engineer for a big 3 letter computer company. Sometimes things work, but they're just not proper engineering practice. This is most likely one of those times.

So the question you have to ask yourself is are you interested in advancing your skill set, or are you just tinkering with a hobby? Implement this once successfully, and you will add it to your personal bag of tricks. The next time you use it, it will work again, the third time... get a little complacent, it comes around and bites you.

Don't pick up bad coding habits. They stay with you.


Rob
