Programming by connect the dots; none of those pesky conditional operators or human readability. Let's contract eye cancer together!

I remember watching these videos when they first came out. Since then I've joined the National Guard, learned how to rewind electric motors and went to school to become a machinist, then got a job at a machine shop, running CNC Lathes, Mills and Wire EDM's. Just thought it was kinda neat that this is where the Machinist part of all that first got into my brain as a path to consider taking
Wow I did not know you got a CNC machine. Where have I been. G-code my old friend. I started out with in early 80s with Gcode and HP calculator.
Dust off the old trig book.
I know it's an old vid, but I appreciate this one a lot. I'm the fresh meat in my milling department now, being prepped to get shipped to the programming/engineering department. My boss told me to do the same thing you did here; take someone else's code and write comments on it explaining everything code by code, line by line. Doing that, having a cheat sheet within arm's reach, and always having a pen and pad for writing down new stuff has been great for learning. Difference being, I'm learning on a Doosan with FANUC controls so I feel like a proper monkey with a stone chisel.
No point in learning to program the machine if you don't understand how the damn thing thinks in the first place. You just end up making problems for no reason.
Back in my day in the making of the chips Rapid Travers was 600IPM. Not sure if new machines are faster than that but goddamn, 600IPM is blazing fast when you miss one frikken decimal point and the spindle heads straight down into the workpiece.
Still cannot fathom why the designers couldnt make the default go UP instead of down but holy shit did it ever wake you up at 3am when your head was full of cold meds just to get thru another night shift. Coolant stinks to high heaven and made my skin crawl, fuck that trade.
I recognize your unique vocabulary from from tearing down tools. Releasing the smoo. You're a busy person.

There's probably a parameter for whether it needs a dot or not. I changed that on my lathe so I wouldn't crash for forgetting the dot. You can use it without the dot but the input is in microns in metric and in tenths in imperial
I still program by hand a lot. We have a lot of old machines with limited memory and no dnc. Ic can be fun and also suck at the same time.
END BUKAKE LMFAO
I caught the bukake reference. Definite LOL there.
damn it, now i want a haas….ive got plenty of hair left to yank out
You just added funny to what was frustration lol!😂😁thank you!
"Today we're all aboard the competence train". No, no, we're definitely not all on board that train. Like, 10% of us are on that train. The rest are waving hankerchiefs from the platform and blowing kisses to passing machinists as the competence train doesn't stop in our town. We're just glad to gawk and glance at the competence train as it passes us by but leaves us behind day after day.
