Regarding pair programming, I also see it as paying the salaries for 2x developers, yet gaining very little from it. I think the trick is to use it when developers feel necessary to stay productive. No point having someone slogging away a

Maybe, the silver searcher still seems a _lot_ faster than grep with this trick though. (About 0.5s vs 32s on an arbitrary test).

Sounds good, great even. all we need are browsers to support it So why isn't it already? Does it need public support? If so, is there a coordinated way we can encourage the vendors to acknowledge it?

Remember, freelancers don't get paid unless they deliver. Contract developers on a day rate very much do get paid time (and materials). If they can't afford a day of his time to figure out if they want him they shouldn't be

The single biggest mistake in the example is giving an estimate for the whole project without knowing team velocity. I'm inclined to agree. Often though a client will want an estimate (to a ridiculous accuracy) before agreeing to the

Seems like a sensible move to tell crawlers there isn't a page there so don't bother trying to index it. Probably keeps their logs cleaner and reduces the requests they have to serve. I find it slightly odd that the internet archi

It's difficult, to my mind. If you consider it acceptable to tap his phone for a purpose he'd rather not communicate to the Australians and there's a clear line that says her phone must not be tapped but his is ok, guess whic

>> The OP recommends turning off gzip in MSIE6 when it was only the very first versions of IE6 that had a problem with gzip and it was fixed in later versions. And IE6 users are known far and wide for how fervently they upgrade. ;-)

3 deaths in the last 30 years. It's a race that tops out at 250mph whereas these guys only got to around 100mph less. That's quite a lot less. I get your point, but I'm not sure these are really comparable.

There's only 27 people saying that. I only know the Java market and mostly outside of London at that, but £750/day for a reasonable Java developer doesn't seem outrageous in London to me.

That would've been simpler, but I seemed to get away with typeof(i[p]) === "object" and typeof(i[p]) === 1*typeof(i[p]) to test if it was an int. I dread to think what obscure code I've left behind.
