And some things just will never change.
Coding habits are like any other habits - good or bad - they're tough to modify or get rid of.
The reason good coding habits are recommended are because even though they may seem a pain in the butt at the moment, they really make things a lot easier down the line.
So I get asked to capitalize a letter from a word that is being pulled from a database. So I said, change it in the database. And I get told: "Parse the letter in the string and swap it." Well, yes... I *could* do that, but that is very inconvenient... not because I don't want to make the change, but because it is better to nip it in the butt from the source... but some people just will NEVER EVER learn. oh well.
