That feeling will go away real fast after the first refactor and you start dipping into the other programmer's code. Either you'll develop a seething hatred for the incompetency of the other programmer or your competency will grow in leaps and bounds as you witness new coding tricks.

And once again Xiau2 launches off the deep end...

AtomSmasher: I hope you don't consider me one of those "holier than thous" you mentioned. But I do have 15 years of game related experience under my belt...  ;)

Hehe, very true.  Actually I just got a very good sign from the other main programmer, he sent me a document titled "Coding Standards and Best Programming Practices" which covers things like naming conventions and standardizing code across a team.  I'm really glad thats one of the first things he's thinking of and I'm equally glad that one of the first things the document says is don't use Hungarian notation   :)  I've only glanced through the document so far, but it looks pretty similar to the notation I already use, so it won't require much for me to adapt to it.

No, I was strictly refering to Mr.X with that statement.

Is this it? Interesting, Hungarian and CamelBack were one of the first things ever grilled into my head in my early school days. I almost always stick to CamelBack, but Hungarian seems to vary on what environment I'm in.

Never really noticed Hungarian was falling out of favor. I was always noticing that two or more programmers can't ever meet on the same standards. TBH I wouldn't give a flying ---fudgesicle--- if variables and functions were in German with Japanese prefixes and French Sigils as long as it was consistent.  ;D
