Write… Compile… Run… What a Dream
I was coding this morning - adding a new synchronous calling scheme to my existing asynchronous library, and really enjoying the capabilities of boost's asio library. I knew what I wanted to write, and I had the basics of the skeleton there for the asynchronous versions, but there were a few differences that arose simply because it was synchronous.
So I was writing this up, got done, compiled it and ran the test app to verify that I hadn't changed any of the behavior, and BINGO! It just worked.
Now, this wasn't cracking the atom - it was only about 100 lines of code, but still... the number of times I've been able to write, compile, and run code and have it just work is pretty rare. It was a very fun feeling to have. Just type it in and run it - it's pretty wild.
Good times...
