comment SQL Server 2000 vs 2008 Express?
@WyattBarnett, SQL Server 2000 can handle terrabyte sized databases. We had way over 50GB when we converted to a newer version.

comment As a programmer, are you required to do timesheets?
@GordonM, it isn't that they don't trust you but that they need the numbers to show to the client and to show to senior management that they need more people and for many varied and valid business reasons.

comment why do some job posts say “high pressure environment”?
Agreed, I once worked in an environment where we were contractually required to fix issues in X amount of time because lives were at stake. There were BIG, BIG penalties for missing our contractual obligation.

comment How to structure a development team
In my experience, they always promise to cycle people around, but they don't, YMMV. In part that is because the ones orginally assigned to development, don't want to move to support.

comment How to structure a development team
Every time I have worked somewhere where they separated out production support from devlopment, it has been a huge disaster. If people don't support what they develop they never learn where they are going wrong, plus the support developers end up being in a ghetto from which there is no escape.

You will actually get it done faster if you only work 8-hour days and no weekends. Exhaustion is sapping your productivity. alternet.org/visions/154518/…
