Hehe, I program like that all the time. I make SURE that a more
complicated part of the program is going to run before adding anything
else. That way if you start having problems, you'll know exactly what part
is causing it. I've heard of some people that just constantly code, not even
compiling to see if they made any typos or syntax errors by mistake. I
won't put down this method of programming, but that's sure a good way to do
it if you want to spend the next day smashing the keyboard over your head
when you can't find where a problem is. :) But of course, the most
important thing to remember is that everyone programs differently. There
is no "normal" or "abnormal" way to do it. So if somebody thinks you
program in a weird way, that probably means they program even weirder. :)
