    >Coding is NOT the same thing as programming. Programming is problem-solving.

    >People often mistake coding for programming. They think that if they learn a programming language (such as JavaScript, Python or Ruby), they’ve learned how to program. That’s nonsense, of course. Learning a programming language without understanding how to solve a programming problem is pretty much worthless. It’s like learning Mandarin and not knowing how to express your thoughts effectively or eloquently.

    >Make no mistake: problem-solving is difficult. Coding is relatively easy.

    Really nice (comment about an) article that warns new developers about the long path they need to walk to be Programmers and not just Coders

  2. we noticed it quite some time ago but didn't find it worth the effort

    Aug 13 14:10:52 <jackpoz>    "Waffle creates a free project management solution from your existing GitHub Issues."
    Aug 13 14:19:40 <leak>    looks like a kanban board out of gh issues?
    Aug 13 14:21:15 <jackpoz>    https://waffle.io/dotnet/orleans the "Help Wanted" column is interesting
    Aug 13 14:21:29 <jackpoz>    our users will know where we want their feedback
    Aug 13 14:33:38 <Nayd>    that can be a label

    If you truly believe that TC has only "shined up" other peoples work, then you also don't know what you are talking about

    I find https://github.com/memononen/recastnavigation/pull/18 to be a perfect example to prove the point above: a TrinityCore developer finds a bug in the OpenSource project recastnavigation used for Path Finding, submits a pull request, it gets merged and a MaNGOS developer thanks the TrinityCore developer for the work done https://github.com/memononen/recastnavigation/pull/18#issuecomment-45236471 .

    That's the OpenSource spirit :D

    The complexity of the project makes it very difficult for someone to just jump in and make real and substantial changes.

     

    lul, like current and past contributors worked on a simpler source code. It looks like the usual excuse.

    The wiki gets you about 70%

    Improving the wiki is a good start for contributors and it doesn't require any programming knowledge. It only requires the will to work on it.

    If you have a problem with Aokromes take it to PM

    Maybe stop getting so butt-hurt

    I don't think Aokromes can get butt-hurt. I see only 1 person who's lost control of his emotions here.

     

    A little bit more on topic about 335 being updated for no good reason, I can assure you I'm going to update 335 many times for reasons that users won't see as good reasons but that a C++ developer would see as the most important and relevant things to do.
