Hope ya feel better -- Here's a post that I occasionally refer to when I'm feeling overwhelmed with a project and undersuited for the task: https://www.hanselman.com/blog/ImAPhonyAreYou.aspx

"Resident" is correct, and I am not :). Honestly, I think I've always referred to it as Terminate and Stay Ready; probably something I read in one of those old books that used to adorn the bookshelf of my parent's office

I wasn't a fan of the 6.x series of DOS but I can't remember exactly why. I have fond memories of DOS 5.0, but that's also the first version I ran on my 486 that we built in the 90s (I came from an 8088, so this was an unfa

I'm with you there -- IIRC, the 3.x series was all about hard disks. I'd lean toward 3.31, though, personally as the "Everything(TM)" item since (I think) that was the version that shipped with FAT16 (had to hit up Wiki

I'd love to see some research around time cost in this area. My personal experience is that writing unit, integration and end-to-end testing ends up either being a wash or reducing the total time it takes to build a product[0]. The ru

Great article and I'm somewhat surprised at how often I have to repeat the things mentioned in it -- heck, sometimes it's difficult to even convince developers of the value of unit testing, in general. I'm a huge advocate of

I completely forgot about the lawn equipment side of things. I purchased a $350 self-propelled non-riding Honda lawn mower as "My First Lawn Mower" on recommendation from CR[0]. I have owned this thing for over a decade. I hate

I suspect you are correct - I seem to recall that the last time this landed in the national news it was specific to health code, not business permits.

Well, if my anecdotal experience -- literally just a few minutes ago -- is any indication, it's a brilliant PR move. I read the story to my wife this morning and she said "Awww, and I just purchased Country Time Lemonaid"

Completely agree - I hope my phrasing didn't come off as otherwise in my prior reply. :) The commute situation used to be pretty awful for me -- my first "real job" involved a 62 mile round-trip (for 7 of the 17 or so years I

My tip: Don't. I stick with three general rules: Don't ever complain. Don't complain about coworkers, the quality of work they do, their attitudes. That guy/gal who complains to you about everyone you work with is comp

This - yes. The reason I love my current job and loved my last one was that I was surrounded by people who knew things that I didn't, who came into work excited to work and who were generally just awesome people. The key here is to

Excellent points and thanks for your two posts; they were both enjoyable reads. I'd like to add a little bit on each, as well. 1. Technology - Also make sure the place you're applying to is willing to give you the tools you requi

I generally agree with most of the points that the author is making here, however, I have some counterpoints to offer as well. The major issues with performance reviews almost always come down to poor execution. The whole "Performance
