"Strings" changed to "data"
I replaced references to 'strings' with 'data' since non-string data can also be hard-coded. --User:SteveBaker
Profile Path
Actually, the example of C:\Documents and Settings\ failing on Vista isn't true - Vista automatically redirects this to C:\Users\ as there is a junction point/reparse point/symbolic link that points from Documents and Settings to Users. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.33.15.251 (talk) 10:30, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
- You are right, and i changed the article that way, removing the Vista reference. --95.89.180.211 (talk) 07:17, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Origins
Currently the article says 'the term "hard-coded" was coined in 1990 by R. Galichon (then a Programmer/Analyst at Mobil)'. I beg to differ, I was using the term in 1989 and have also never heard of R. Galichon. -- JonRB (talk) 13:29, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
- Given that whoever wrote that origin story originally has been failing to provide a source for almost four years, I removed the sentence. It can always be re-added if someone can actually prove that this term is as young as 1990 (which seems unlikely to me). --Mudd1 (talk) 21:37, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
- I can't prove that I was using it in 1989, but I don't see how you can say it is "unlikely" it is as young as 1990 given my assertion. JonRB (talk) 22:59, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
Optimization
Hard coding can also be a powerful optimization technique, such as using sinus-tables instead of expressions when an FPU is not available. /Stellarvortex (talk) 15:51, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
Left/right-handedness
Example: In e.g., https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/7866 I plead the case about not assuming all users use their left hand for certain mouse operations and their right hand for others, and thus have this hardwired too deep into the code to change.
