It's disappointing, whatever we call it :(

Long story ;) I was setting up a staging database for some testing. Our DBs are big so we truncate a bunch of data we don't need on the staging server so we can have more DBs without wasting tens of GB per database. I ended up executin

Yeah, someone told me about that. It's still ridiculous. And why couldn't the input tell me what the min/max was before I entered it?

For some devs, I'm sure that's true. For me, I like to take pride in my work and be proud of the products I work on. I love people reporting bugs so I can improve :)

Yeah; that got me too. Needless to say I won't be trying that again :)

Yeah, could've been something like that. It doesn't normally do that it was just a one-off, so I figured it was just something weird up (like maybe I'd already told it to reboot and it didn't seem to work, so I sent it a

I wondered that; but the first several emails didn't start like that. It was only after I complained that wasn't my name it started, like they were taking the piss :(

That's true; and the post wasn't aimed specifically at devs, but more of the software dev industry as a whole (I know the title is pretty badly worded). I think companies should start caring more about their quality and users shou

Yeah, I don't know if I get more than my fair share, or if I just notice them more. Maybe it's good attention to detail =D

I disagree. While there are management/process/whatever issues, there's also a lot that could be improved by the devs. For example, take the podomatic example - that's just a sloppy function written by a dev. The NPower

Like everything, it's a trade-off. People try to say "you should do x", but it's just never clear-cut. I think in general though, we would be better moving slightly towards the "spend a little bit longer" end o

I totally agree, and since I became team leader where I work I like to think we've made MASSIVE strides in quality. We've moved from CVS (lol) to DVCS; we review every checking; we have build servers and perfectly matching local Q

Often the buggy software turns out more expensive. It can be a false economy not putting that extra time in to ship stable software. If you ship something that loses data and you have to start restoring backups and patching data, it probabl

I've also seen a lot of recruiters going through GitHub and contacting people that way lately. People with public source on GH tend to be really passionate devs because they're frequently spending time outside work doing dev.

I did use technology before the iPhone, but I don't remember being as frustrated by it as I am now. The most frustrating thing is that we seem to be getting worse, not better. We're not learning from mistakes, we're too busy

As well as what others have said, it might long-term give an easier path for developing things that work across platforms too. Lots of companies spend a lot of effort to run code on multiple platforms (SQL Server recently announced Linux su

I really like this. I used to play piano, and I just hated reading sheet music. This seems to much more simple. I don't think it'd work well in paper/book form, but on a scrolling screen I think it'd be a great learning

This is not a valid reason. Having access to all my private data, my banking website, my gmail, and anything else you want is unacceptable. I'm shocked that anyone at all would install your extension. It's no wonder so much privat
