The UI colorizer is what I thought of immediately, too. If we took a poll I suspect the majority would be thinking of the Amazon service That's just personal projection, and is as irrelevant as an argument beginning with, "I thi

you'll have done all you can on your own But you'll never reach that point. If you're abusing other people's time because you can't be arsed to put in effort on your own, you should feel anxious about it. Why?

You know, I used to be subscribed to a technical mailing list, around the time that .NET first came out. One guy started abusing the mailing list like mad. Asking extremely simple questions that he could have answered with a brief skim of

That's why everyone wears hoodies and tshirts: to show that they're different from MBAs and the suits and the bankers. That's a really weird conclusion to come to. I wear hoodies and tee shirts because 1) my job doesn&#x

Correct, VS commandline calls MSBuild. That seems like an inaccurate description of what's happening: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11932164/what-parameters-... They're using MSBuild, they just

Do you run VS on your production servers? Why would I have any build system installed on a production server ?

Despite being a Windows developer for 90% of my career, I have no idea why anyone uses MSBuild. I've created several automated build and deployment systems, but I always used the command line Visual Studio interface. Honestly, I don&#

I consider the Kinesis to be the keyboard that saved my career. Terrible tendinitis set in during my last year of college in 1998. Keyboards were generally terrible, and I'd started using a Microsoft Natural, which is probably the wo

As a fellow Dvorak typer I'm a bit surprised that you've had such a negative experience with it. I didn't have a negative experience with Dvorak, it's just virtually pointless when compared to the benefit of consiste

Yeah, and I never had a moment's back or neck pain, despite terrible posture habits, until a bulged disc put me out of work for a long time at the ripe old age of 34. I genuinely hope you never experience any work-related ailments.

The Kinesis wants my hands aligned with each other at a set distance. I just looked at my wrists and hands on my Kinesis. While, yes, the keys are aligned along a single axis[1], my wrists don't bend at all. It's not like you

In my opinion, it's good preventative care. The problem with tendinitis, carpal tunnel, bulged neck discs, and health issues that afflict programmers is that you don't know you're susceptible until you already have the proble

So you switched back to QWERTY, and/or now type Colemak, I take it? Nope. I still type Dvorak. One switch is enough. I can type QWERTY, too. If I use a different machine, I'm able to switch over with surprisingly few errors.

Any significant keyboard change will require some adaptation time. For example, I went from a traditional keyboard to a Kinesis Maxim, which was a traditional layout but split. That required a bit of typing adjustment, like what you mentio

Do the "wells" offer any real benefit over a regular split keyboard? In my opinion, yes. The keys conform to your hands, rather than the other way around. Also, the idea of a split keyboard was popular some time ago. Is it sti
