   I am a junior dev without a ton of experience so correct me if I'm wrong, but I strongly disagree. Comments should explain "why" something was written. Wouldn't the function name indicate what you are doing (and comments

   While it might make one feel better to call oneself an engineer (you're not, it is not one of the original engineering practices), a developer (I guess, is it any better though), guru, ninja, evangelist (rebranded words). There is abso

    I am usually not a free market extremist, but if Intel makes an excellent software product after years and millions of dollars in R&D, and make it only work for certain platforms, power to them.

    I'm still not entirely sure why is Intel forced to do this? Is it only because they advertise that it optimizes equally well for any CPU? If not, then I don't really see why they can force them to provide another AMD-friendly vers

    If you mean the D language was designed by a compiler expert, then it is as irrelevant as a house designed by a plumber. I don't know, I heard talks by James Gosling and he is much of an expert as anybody.
