I use an IDE (Eclipse) to develop software. Why should I switch to vim or emacs? Could you elaborate on what you could do faster in Eclipse than in Emacs? |

vim tutorial for beginners Regarding Vim-Adventures, there are now 6 levels, but only the first one is free to play. That said, playing the first level is definitely worth a beginner's time. :) |

How should I test my TEST code? I'm not worried about my code growing its own bugs, I'm worried about my tests catching them when they happen. If my tests are faulty, they won't do their job and I'll think that I've got rid of a certain class of bug when they actually still exist, just making my job harder because I'm looking at inaccurate test results (pass when they should fail). |

General programming techniques to speed up coding time I wasn't one of the downvoters, but I assume they probably -1'd you because the question was about programming faster in C++. |

Do I need to test everything? Also, I would assume bugs in a static page would be MUCH easier to fix than logic errors, design errors, and the type of things TDD is normally used to prevent. Both discovering and fixing errors of static pages are likely to be fairly easy, and its my impression that TDD is used to shorten both of those processes when they take longer than is desired. :D |

Should managers prohibit programmers from using IM in office? The other thing about programmers is that they want control over their machine. If they don't have it, its not unlikely that they'll spend their time trying to get it and do what they wanted to do in the first place instead of working. Bottom line: trying to keep them working by eliminating distraction isn't going to help much. |

What programming skills have provided you the best return on investment? You've got the right idea, but IMHO you're not getting the whole picture. I the fb is going to make things VERY difficult to read for anyone who doesn't know what's going on, and its help will be minimal (though PHP's shortcomings might make this necessary). The idea is to make code flow as close to normal language as possible. Above all, you want to tell what a variable actually holds with its name. areGetParametersValid and isCurrentStringValid are a little better, but you're still not saying what valid means. Try areGetParametersValidIntegers or isCurrentStringValidAddress :D |
