Thank you very much. > This was a lot of work. Towards the end I was liking KiCad source code less and less. This idea that you make a screw driver with a hammer on the end of it was driving me nuts. How about a screwdriver separate from a hammer? Many many KiCad functions are simply too complicated, and needed to be split into 2, sometimes 3 or more. There are still some that I cannot understand even after reading the function header documentation. This is highlighting the difference between a software architect and a programmer. Simple functions crafted together to create a complex architecture that is easily understood is far better than complex functions crafted together to create a simple architecture which remains incomprehensible. No way I go through that torture without ranting. Good thing there was no audio recording of it. We're near the end now. > Thank you! > > Wayne > > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers > Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp > _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
