Talk:Hard coding

Examples too specific?

I know it's next to impossible for an example to be too specific, but this article only cites Microsoft based hard-coding problems and gives very specific solutions to those particular issues. Would it be possible to cite some other problems and have less technical solutions as well. I mean, who really knows what the SHGetFolderPath function is anyway? ☭ Zippanova 08:29, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt we can trace the reason because the edit adding this is done from an anonymous. --D e ryc k C. 16:54, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Strings" chgd to "data"

I replaced references to 'strings' with 'data' since non-string data can also be hard-coded. --User:SteveBaker

"Practitioners"?

"practitioners of the software art"? If that's valid, I'd like some links. --Astronouth7303

"Hard code" v. "hardcode"

I thought the concept was written as a single word. This is the first time I have seen it as two words. --Anonymous

Seems several forms are used; "hardcode", "hard-code", "hard code", "hardcoding" and "hard-coding", and "hard coding". Actually, to my surprise, "hard coding"/"hard-coding" is more frequently used than "hardcoding" (according to google). --Wernher 17:33, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer the hyphenated "hard-code", as in my own usage this is the most common. Deryck C. 03:39, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Competitive hard coding

Hard coding is also an important concept in computer competitions. I've added a paragraph about that. Deryck C. 08:36, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
