Cargo cult programming...

Hi all...

As a mere amateur programmer it came to my attention recently of a phrase:-

Cargo Cult Programming...

After reading the wiki on it I think that I may have fallen into this category.
But then, I can only code in my own time and do not do it for a living so
there is always that possibility.

So to you pros, have you come across much of this and/or done it yourselves?

All the time. Sometimes you have to learn a new language just for one job. I had never heard of that expression in forty years of programming by the way.
