I would like to piggy back on this post to mention that I'm willing to work for Latte, especially if you also have a shower or food. I'm based in Sydney, Australia and you can find me on LinkedIn.

The VB6 IDE was Ok for 1998, but 1998 was a long time ago. I still use VB6/VBA to get shit done, but only because I have a bunch of code & tools I've already written in or for it. I can see how it would be pretty useless to m

Most things labelled "Web 2.0" should have been a defacto "Web" idea.

Ahh, the people who wrote this code weren't morons, just "edgy" non-conformists.

I'm having this problem right now. Simulation/Entity type object model is working quite well for one app, but add another app and the cracks in the abstraction become obvious. Using dynamic properties for the app-specific properties seems

I laugh when I see positions advertised with "senior" in the title that are only asking for 3 years experience. Around here, that's normal. Does this happen in other industries?

I can feel for him. I often find buzzwords are used to describe things I've been doing for 10 years in a way that makes it seem like people who only just discovered that thing are "more current" than me. It's frustrating, and it actually c

Use Javascript to change the caption of the submit button from "OK" to "Confirm" the first time it is pressed and then submit the form on the second press. That way, the data doesn't reach your server until the user has confirmed the purch

4) I think of the table name as describing the tuples it contains, not the table itself. SQL reads better that way.

Hey, let's regulate "e-mail marketing" while we're at it. Pfft. Whatever.

Trim half of your experience from your CV. No one wants to hire a know-it-all. If you don't have much experience, then go to several recruiters - they are all about finding bodies and they're not too fussy. If you're a chick, then change

I'm hoping for a future where hacking your own device so that it does what you want it to isn't some kind of legal gray area (and isn't illegal either).

My ISP has a "Your account" page where I can view my current total bandwidth used for the month and the amount I have used each day. I have a much clearer idea of how much bandwidth I use than how much electricity I use. I don't get the op

I would rather credit Wikipedia as the source of a common "well-known" algorithm than leave the door open to claims from some third party.

I think the gender imbalance is a symptom of a larger problem that affects competent programmers of both genders: An industry that doesn't take competent women seriously, doesn't take competence seriously. There were a lot of threads a fe

You think "programmer" is bad. Try "Visual Basic Programmer" or "PHP Programmer". That kind of stigma can never be erased.

I agree with your conclusions but for different reasons. Defensive programming "done right" should be self documenting ("oh, I see this routine requires this parameter to be non-zero"), and throw exceptions back up to the ui/app layer so th

I was young and opinionated once. I´m old and opinionated now. The only difference is, now I'm right.

At the beginning of BTTF2 Marty travels to a possible future. One that would have become the actual future if he hadn't interacted with anybody and then gone straight back to 1985. Doc Brown's plan would have worked too if it weren't for

A domain-specific compression algorithm will often outperform a general purpose compression algorithm, and sometimes a combination of both is even better. Besides, downloading a zip file is still faster than downloading the uncompressed fil

Welcome to the real world, where "the next programmer to work on this might be dumber than you" is considered a valid justification for cargo-cult programming. A good minifier should replace line-breaks with semicolons as appropriate using

Is this different from declaring a variable as "Object" in either VB.Net or VB5/6?
