@IvenBach I'm doing the same thing this week... cleaning up code that I wrote less than three weeks ago... even worse, I thought it was pretty clever at the time... but now, its ugly

Avoid clever code at all costs. I learned that the hard way.

I just have to accept the fact that I still write non-optimal code and my Future-Self will look back on my Current-Self and say something like "At least he was trying..." and wish I hadn't tried so hard...

> @retailcoder @hosch250 my MVVM is rusty. Is there a way to accomplish this outside of the code behind?

> @rubberduck203 haven't seen the code yet, but IMO that's strictly a presentation concern, it has nothing to do in the ViewModel - it actually belongs in the View :)

@IvenBach please... read the first few versions of RD's identifier reference resolver. #ItNeverStops

It was an utter spaghetti mess, so stupidly inefficient it's embarrassing

There has to be a starting point, even if it is pretty bad?

Make it work

Make it right

Make it fast

Beat me to it.

I have that sticky note on my computer.

I'd rather fail and keep trying, progressing along the way, than be known as a quitter/giver-upper.

RD's parser started out as a bound-to-fail regex nightmare. Today I can confidently affirm it's the best OSS VBA parser out there.

Rewrites: 3 and counting

And a crew of devoted devs

It's a project that some nameless company should have kept up with as they updated their office package.

Nah, it's more gratifying when you have to do it yourself :-)

And I'm sure some nameless company is keeping an eye in our ducky!

Even more so since @ThunderFrame is going to show how quacking awesome it is.
