You’ve been coding in Java too long when you completely forget that C doesn’t have labelled breaks.

I’m not too sure if I should be proud I hadn’t coded in C for so long, or ashamed.

    I think i’d go with proud. But, then again, I’m currently learning Objective C. Errr. :-)

    How about being ashamed for using labeled breaks?

    You know you’ve been coding too long when you publish geek jokes about programming too long. :)

    Who am I kidding: coding for too long is barely enough.

    I’ve gotta admit, I couldn’t remember if Java had ‘em, because I never really need them.

    I think long before I get to a single method that gets that complicated, I’d be inclined to decompose the method, which is likely to be more easily read and understood.
