Someone wanted to pay me 25 bucks for 108 lines of G-code

I did not accept. I nstead helped the guy for free, but I’m willing to bet that at twenty three cents per line, few programs written in this decade would've been more expensive line for line. Have my favourite Jeep for your time.

But G code isn’t hard.

Which is why I'm surprised he was willing to pay so much money.

I’m pretty sure you’d be very wrong on the pricing thing. Code is very expensive, especially if you are going to take into account design/ testing/debugging/optimizing/etc. Average lines per hour for professional programmers are all over the place (and not a good way to judge coders anyway), but are almost always much lower than you’d expect.

I am not very familiarized with it, I admit, but it’s still a ludacris amount of money, specially for G code.

Clearly, you have not seen the prices in India, where everybody outsources their code to.

If you work for Tata, Mahindra, or one of the big names, you might take home a whole $5000USD... per year . And that’ll get you Java literally copy and pasted from textbooks or just other people’s projects.

23 cents per line for analyzed, debugged, functional  code is a fucking steal.

I really should learn G code. Thanks for the reminder.

If its only a hundred lines?  I might understand if the price per line goes up if you're talking about a 200,000 line program... but like... all I did was a 2D drawing of a house

Mmmmmm... ‘04 WJ Laredo. I miss my ‘02 Overland.

I loved it and I never drove it. It was always my mom taking me everywhere in her black v8 limited WJ.

If I wasn't so emotionally attached to my XJ, I'd have sold it and kept the WJ. That's also true for a CJ-7 I sold several years ago, too.

It’s super easy, and you can use some online simulators to see if you ever make a mistake.

I'm only emotionally attached to the R170...I'm never selling that.

G code... you mean G & M? For CNC.

It is for a CNC machine, but I’ve never heard of it being called G&M, only G code or M code depending on what you’re doing with the machine.

But I have little to no experience so I really don't know.

My friend has one of those.

I’ve got my XJ and my Studebaker. The disposition of both will be written into my will.

G&M is generally a catch all for machine code relating to CNC, specifically Haas and the like. The other code we refer to is FANUC, which is a variation of G&M.

It isn’t, unless you don’t know how to write it.

Wrong type of coding. This is CNC G and M code

I had an 04 Overland. Probably my 2nd favorite daily driver I’ve ever had. Terrible on gas but wildly comfortable and the AWD/4WD was effortless on washed out gravel mountain roads. I do love driving my ZHP more though.

I’m aware (though I’m not familiar with it beyond knowing what it is). I’d still expect some similarities.

There aren’t any.

I’ve done both, one of them professionally. The difference is like washing your car vs building your car.
