   Exactly! Just because you choose to drive your car into a brick wall at 100mph, it doesn't mean your car is unsafe.

   This is really quite shocking. Surely there is something unlawful about publicly firing an employee in this way. All that needed to be said was "Please stop filming".

   I generally don't drink coffee because it makes your breath smell. It is really awful when you're talking to colleagues or clients with "coffee breathe".

   I agree. I also wonder if many of the great programmers would consider themselves great?

   I have an exam in Algorithm Design and Analysis coming up in the first week on July, and have been practicing implementing a number of the algorithm design questions in past papers. They are usually obscure questions around some sort of bin

   I agree with the enjoyment factor. I hate using BitBucket, I can't quite explain why. It feels neglected and the website layout hasn't been given much thought.

    "Github is great for everyone but agencies who have a high number of repositories." This is the single reason we cannot use GitHub, it would cost £1000s.

    I have a student account on GitHub and I use BitBucket for private repositories with my employer. I prefer the GitHub website so much more. Better design, better graphs, you can get an overview of who in your team has committed in a time pe

    I do agree that by charging by repository count they are losing a large number of customers who run small web design and development shops. If GitHub price per person rather than per repository, they would gain so many more paid for custome

    Going beyond the design and layout to actually writing a website for the client using Rails for example, how can you explain this? Unfortunately, clients have no idea about the technology behind what they actually see on their screen. The s

    This is very true. The clients we have had to date which are prepared to spend good money on a website have done so to differentiate themselves from their competitors with great success.

    So how can we get across that it is that much more complex than many people think? I considered explaining that it is like asking an interior designer to design your kitchen, or any other room in your house so that it is completely unique t

    Why are clients shocked by the price for web development?

    I have used Vagrant in the past, and I had to stop using it. Shared folders were just too slow. 2 seconds to refresh a page was too much when you're trying to be productive.

    How did you decide that it would take you about two days? Was it just a number or did you try and break down the task into sub tasks and decide how long each would take?

    My problem is that if I say it would take me 2 weeks and my colleague says he can do it in just one - though I am overestimating, he will most likely seem a better, more efficient employee.

    I try to overestimate, but then I worry that I may be seen as wasting time or being grossly inefficient. Obviously there is a balance. This is something I worry about much.

    How can you estimate time for something you've never done before?

    I'm sorry but being a little naive, but what is the big issue with Fedora 18? I moved to Fedora 18 from Ubuntu 12.10 because it was so awfully buggy. Every other time I turned on my laptop I would get a black screen with an error message. A

    Scratch is a great! I do worry that people would then begin to learn a language and be frustrated by it's syntax. I don't know?

    I agree that C++ gives you a great understanding of programming, but I don't think that people with little or no understanding of programming should have to worry about types, compilers amongst other things. I feel that C++ is a great choic

    I would probably choose JavaScript, Python or Ruby.

    Thanks. This is actually a really nice insight to see how employers may read someone's GitHub profile.
