Work as Software Engineer.
Company does embedded devices and mechanical systems so I get exposed to lots of different engineers at different levels.
I am in the layer between the embedded and the graphical guys + development tools for everybody.
Use on a daily basis: C#, Xslt, NAnt, Vault, CC.NET, and my own house.
Love to try to put all the code of a function on one line (one actual statement).

Should data structures be integrated into the language (as in Python) or be provided in the standard library (as in Java)? @EduardoLeón, although you can call garbage collection at a deterministic point, I do not think how long it will run for is deterministic (for the same reason that malloc and new are non-deterministic in C/C++). |

Why are people laughing at visual basic? "It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that have had prior exposure to BASIC. As potential programmers, they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration." -- E.W. Dijkstra |

A way to return multiple return values from a method: put method inside class representing return value. Is it a good design? Another option (probably a bad one): see BitInteger[] java.math.BigInteger.divideAndRemainder(BitInteger val). It returns 2 integers as its return values in an array. |

Does code generation increase the code quality? You should not have to ever edit that code; edit the code that did the generation itself and augment it with additional rules if necessary. Editing generated code should be the last resort. |

How to deal with tautology in comments? In these situations I strive (and often fail), to add at least either <remarks/> or <see/> so at to provide some additional content. The <summary/> is still duplicated, but the comment overall is not completely useless. |

Free alternative to BugZilla Changed to include "Free" in title as I expected Jira to be on list, but it is not allowed based on freeness |

How do I convince my team to use smaller classes/methods? A recommendation I would make is to look at the source code they are checkin in now, not what is currently in the project. It is possible that most of the current code was not written by your coworkers, but rather by your now managers 10 years ago. |
