   We get our interviewees to sit in front of an IDE of their choice and write some simple code. And I mean simple! No fancy algorithms or tricks. I ask them to write a method that takes a list of Strings and returns a single String which is a

   IDEs, no matter which vendor they come from, are complex things. A zillion options, keystrokes up the wazoo. Moving from one to another is like having an arm lopped off. It takes a lot of time to get comfortable. Muscle memory is a powerful

   I was in that position 5 years ago. I really tried - spent time learning keystrokes etc. What got me was the lack of integration and lack of basics. For example, Find Usages and Search were incredibly crap - which is a major problem when yo

   Give AppCode a try - although it's mainly for Objective-C, it has good support for C and C++ http://www.jetbrains.com/objc/whatsnew/index.html

   Huh, put in some dummy email address. Than hit next. Then go back to yipit.com and you can see the real site. Asking for an email before showing me what you do is absolutely crazy.

    "Doing a half-day?" is the remark I hate hearing the most when leaving at 5. It's said as a joke and yet it's not. Upvotes for the person who can come up with a good come-back! (Note, this is not a problem where I work at the moment. And ev

    There seems to be a minor bug of some sort in the habit list. I've been using http://dontbreakthechain.com/ so I added 6 of the habits I've got on there. Now lift is only displaying 2 of my habits on the home screen. If I click on my name
