David the Ineffecient Programmer

Sometimes I make myself so mad at work. I needed to fix something and wrote this:

// fix the ssn right quick...
string[] choo = ssn.Split('-');
ssn = "";
foreach(string s in choo){
ssn+= s;
}

Then I thought about it a while and wrote:

// fix!
ssn = ssn.Replace("-","");

I hate how I can't think the most effecient the first time around. Sigh. It makes me embarrased; what if Joel or Don or any other gods of programming saw how crap I wrote it the first time?
