What a lady! This makes me feel ashamed for throwing in the towel with iPhone development simply because the method names were too verbose and hard to remember and the whole deployment profile/signing stuff.. :)
The things that annoy professional programmers are very different from the things that annoy "amateur" programmers. (I use quotes because I don't want to imply that this lady is not a good programmer or whatever. Her goals are to create a single fun game in her free time, so the things that annoy her are going to be different than what annoys someone who has to write a new "business app" every month.)
That's a great point - I hadn't thought of that. 10 years ago I just put up with and accepted a lot of weird stuff related to programming because I was pretty much a novice and just got on with it. Now I've reached a point where I can question things.. just a bit too much though, it seems!
