Re: I'm trying not to hate labview but...

It's funny - my first year with the team (their second year) was the first year we really got into the coding. I kept saying the same thing about the ifi code. "Boy, this is a silly way to do it." "Boy, that makes no sense!"

By the second year though, we had figured out why they did things the way they did. We were also able to reuse and improve modules we had written the year before.

Now, I find myself and our team members going through the same learning process all over again. I'm reasonably sure that while I'm saying "why the heck do I have to do THAT" right now, in a year or two once I've figured it out it will all make far more sense... and I won't "hate" it quite so much.
