Anyone who complains about code not compiling on the first try likely hasn’t been coding for very long. Getting your code to do what you tell it is easy, getting it to do what you want is hard.
I usually code in an IDE that tells me whether my code will compile while I am typing it.
But when I write things like PL/SQL, yeah it is definitely an achievement to get it to compile.
You compile your SQL?
PL/SQL needs to be compiled, there can be compilation errors when you create a function or procedure on an Oracle DB. Doing that is part of my current job, so I definitely know what I’m talking about.
Polish people acting fancy again
Compiling is only half the battle
If compiling is half your battle, you have already lost
In Rust, it is 80% of the battle.
