Sometime in the near future you will look at your coding partner, or your fellow programmers, or even your boss and wonder if you are ever going to start coding like you live in this century. It is something we must do every now and then when people find out you are coding in BASIC. Really UniBasic is not Dartmouth BASIC which was created in 1964. No we are using a language related to Data/Basic from its big commercialization in 1973. It has some similar conventions as Dartmouth BASIC and the same thing can be said of JavaScript and Java.
If you write programs that, for example have variable names like "A" or "B", then the dinosaur is not sitting next to you, it is you.
If you cannot spell out the word count and use CNT or CT, then extinction might be right around the corner.
If we cannot name programs to match the functionality calling them Wh200 which should be something like Warehouse_EDI_Subroutine, then you are becoming a DoDo bird.
If you continually use archaic tools like AE (Alternative Editor), ED (Editor), or plethora of the other names strategically not mentioned, then you may find our self's looking for a job in a shrinking environment.
If you have seen the word "Version Control" but think you should save the old version of the program in a file called BP.OLD, the world is getting a lot colder than you realize.
If think that your editor should not be auto correcting as you type, then you cannot see the forest through the trees and maybe the T-Rex will not get you.
If we think that your manager does not know anything of how you do what you do, then you are in for a long winter this summer.
