RE: Belarc Advisor (Readers' ten favorite Windows programs)
Haha, that's a good one grin

I've been writing software from A-Z, often enough from scratch, since the end of the 1970s. I wrote major systems for Fortune 10 companies, large banks etc.

I also wrote several development frameworks (about one every 10 years) supporting the writing of Software.

Trust me, it's not godly, it's just good practice:

- Good analysis of the problem
- Good choice of tools, starting with the programming language (I always avoided C/C++ and anything similar to C like the pest)
- Readable code
- Well structured programs
- Consistency

If you follow those rules, you'll be able to understand the code even 20 years later and you don't have to remember much, you just have to know where to look for the appropriate information.
