the lack of chance of massive payoff is probably balanced by a stable income. I got a feeling that if you are the kind of person that worries about any job, you'll worry about all jobs. (For certain values of "worry".)

it depends. In New Zealand you can get an accredited engineering degree, majoring in software engineering, and thus be entitled to call yourself an engineer. If you have one of those and you're writing software, using appropriate an enginee

it seems like there is a bit too much hinged off the email address and the domain that's on. In many cases this is controlled by an ISP or big company (gmail, hotmail etc). It seems like this is a barrier to getting the necessary infrastruc

it is important for a site to provide users, who are already there, an easy way to search. It complements navigation. Doesn't really matter if it's custom or backed by something like google. Some random standalone search specifically built

I had a lecturer in CS who didn't really code and would freely admit it. A LOT of what she lectured stuck and I've used it everyday in my programming jobs. CS != programming.

to be fair, if you aren't good at design then your "same design on every page" design probably isn't very good either. I really like the way they are presenting information -- there really is a problem on the web of nav-on-the-top-and-left,

gah! but all those steps make the whole process harder than just thinking hard and writing down the correct function to start with. Or to write several test cases to start with (because you know many of the expected outputs up front) and wr

The solution to having no tests is adding tests. The solution to overgrown, unreadable, unmaintainable code is refactoring. A rewrite would take about 2 years probably (using some very naive calculations).
