How to fail an interview? I have seen this with agents, when an agent must send 3 people or the client will go to another agent. The agent then asks someone they had placed elsewhere to pretend they want the contract and to go to the interview. |

MVVM or MVC? Want to use the same set of classes for WPF and ASP.NET @PRK, Silverlight will mostly let you do everything WPF does and if you can get all your "web" users to install it, will also let to create a solution that is accessed var the web and "feels" like a web app. |

How to measure an IT workplace? "average developer turnover rate" is not enough, you need to know how long new developers stay for, as there may be a bad case of "them and us" between the old and the new. (You will be a new...) |

How do I explain “Recursion” to a 8 years old kid? @MainMa, we had recursion on the first day of our computer sci degree - that way students that were not up to computer sci could change degrees quickly (pity more of the "hopeless" ones did not make the change). |

Too much version control and bug tracking overhead per change? @edA-qa, I would hope a nuclear power plan would only have one active version of the control software and very few changes once it had gone live. |
