That these guys are provocative makes their insights more valuable, since they get more attention. If you don't have or can't grow a thick skin, you don't belong in a creative field. It's as simple as that. Nonsense.

From my inexperience (3 years at one company, 1 year at another), the sad truth appears to be that the developers would care just enough to hide the problem. For example at my last job, I was pair programming with the "most valuable" C++ pr

Yes of course. I want to be able to archive my steamy love "sessions" without fear of reprisal. It couldn't possibly be that I am under NDA, and that I talk with coworkers primarily via AIM. Couldn't be!

You. Rock. That is all. I'm kind of poor at the moment, but I could buy you a $20 book or something. Or just wire you $20.

Why is the "I could have done that" reaction a good thing? That implies "this should have been done from the beginning, but the developers were lazy / incompetent" Also, it is better to have 500 lines of well-commented code with informative

Whether it's 200 lines or 2,000 lines, what's with the fascination of "X lines"?

This is true. That's another interesting question I think about sometimes... What would I do, if programming did not exist? Architecture, maybe...

I recently saw that a "Walgreens Pharmacist" is typically paid around ~$120k/yr. If I set my mind to it, I am fairly certain I could become a Walgreens Pharmacist. However I have no interest whatsoever in that. So regardless of the pay, I

Could I hire you to follow me around and translate everything everyone is saying to me? Or possibly bribe you.

Yuck. I hope it's a rolling average (i.e. the average from the last 30 days). My account is 1368 days old! How the heck am I supposed to change my average in any significant way?

At the game studio I work at, they use XML for all scripting tasks: gameplay scripts and UI scripts. As in, XML nodes are "game script commands" which are executed sequentially.
