Two months. My first time programming .NET and learning on the job. I was creating an application to import data into SalesLogix using their API. It crashed whenever there was a single quote in a particular field. Not knowing much of anythi

I once turned down an accepted offer because I realized I was not qualified to perform the task. They wanted me to analyze and estimate the time required for a rewrite on technology I was totally unfamiliar with. The greenfield development

Why don't we offer the masses an opportunity to create a new world? Humans are becoming useless at roughly the same time, the cost of space travel is reaching a cost some 10 - 20% of the traditional cost. The problem is that we value h

As opposed to not coloring it? I am for syntax highlighting. Those particular colors you see on the site are a little bit harsh, but maybe because of the bold/font weight. I use the default dark color scheme on Visual Studio and while

I really want to try Kotlin out. I want to give it a chance. The problem is that I can't help but feel it will become abandonware in the future. Somebody will buy JetBrains or they will start cutting costs and then Kotlin will be no mo
