When confronted with a problem, I will not stand down until a solution is found.
Some people say they love coding; coding and logic are natural talents I have. Coding can at times be tedious, but I love the end-results of it; when with the push of a button, magic occurs.
I am fanatical about the concept of self-documenting code. Routines and variables should always use an apt description. Sometimes getting held up on naming conventions is a time investment that will pay off greatly later on, when you are reviewing your code and need to make sense of it.
Even though a series of statements might only be called once, if they can be rolled up into a descriptive procedure call, you should do it for the purposes of documentation.
