Aug 22	comment	What is the benefit of not using Hungarian notation? The logic is not quite the same. While the I prefix is from Hungarian notation, the reason behind using the I actually has an explanation. stackoverflow.com/questions/222457/…
Aug 22	comment	What is the benefit of not using Hungarian notation? Well, that's the thing: Hungarian notation is not the convention. It may have been in the past, but it's not anymore. Take a look at the .NET Framework source, sample apps posted on popular .NET blogs, generated code in Visual Studio, etc. We could agree that all strings should be prefixed with `str`, but as you can see in the answers to the question, that's not what people want.

Aug 16	comment	Does Scrum turn active developers into passive developers? Nice blog post.
Aug 5	comment	What are some high quality Enterprise Architecture conferences or training programs? Enterprise architecture and enterprise software architecture are not the same thing, by a longshot.
Jul 28	comment	How can I teach a bright person, with no programming experience, how to program? You are so out of touch sometimes, Joel.
Jul 27	comment	Is kick-starting myself into the programming world by reading from a book about VS 2008 & .NET 3.5 a bad idea? IMHO, you should start with Ruby or Python instead. Not that those languages are better, but only because the barriers are a bit smaller, especially for new programmers. learnpythonthehardway.org is an excellent primer for new devs.
Jul 21	comment	Will staying in this position affect my career negatively? Your employer is a Sarlaac pit and staying there will slowly digest you for thousands of years.
