Why is 0 false? @Morwenn, I would hope the people who designed the orginal languages understood the math. In fact I would bet on it since computer science came from the field of mathematics. People like this designed the orginal languages (note her mathematics experience) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Hopper |

How do I survive in a Waterfall world? Sadly there are many failed agile projects because the reality is the customers often have no idea what they want and the developers don't have the business acumen to help them figure it out. And many so-called "agile" projects really aren't, getting the worst of both worlds. |

How do I survive in a Waterfall world? I have seen lots of agile projects fail and lots of waterfall projects succeed (and vice versa of course). Waterfall does not alawys fail and doesn't even fail really much more often than agile does (it does fail for different reasons). I can trace pretty much every failure I have ever seen no matter what methodology to bad requirements or inappropriate deadlines (usually based on wishful thinking and bad requirements!) |

Are there any industry standards that define code quality? If you have been building already and you have a standard, insist they use it. No sense rebuilding what you have doen to change to some mythological industry standard. Being consistent with a current standard no matter how common or uncommon it is would be far more important. |

How should I behave as a developer in a project that's headed for failure? A 100 table database is hardly complex. It is teeny tiny in terms of a business enterprise system. |

I want to program, my school won't help me Some of attending school is about learning to manage time and how to work with others and how to do tasks you don't enjoy. All of those are things that you will need in the real world eventually. I would not hire a programmer who couldn't make it through high school without dropping out, it indicates someone who won't play well with others which is critical in the professional world. There are a lot of factors as important or more important than your technical skills. |

What tools do you use to manage requests from users? It's not hard to convert them, YOu simply return each email with a standard answeer of you won't be working on it until it is in the offical tracking system. You'd be amazed at how many urgent things go away when they have to take teh time to submit an actual request. |

ACID compliant Database that isn't NoSQL? RDBMS database are the lifeblood of most companies, they aren't going to dissapear. it would cost literally billions of dollars to replace them. NOSQL dbs solve a different problem than relational ones for the most part, they aren't a replacement. |
