I'm sure that your code is nowhere near as sloppy as what my first code
looked like... but I wont go into that.  Don't be embarassed, this list was
created with the intent of helping aspiring programmers like you and me.
And if someone does mock your code, then you already know who the idiot is.
Don't let other people's choices influence you.
