What branch of computing involves object recognition in images? I'd use umbrella term for such a diverse field: Computer Vision (alternatively Machine Vision). |

How important is the ability to touch-type? Imo very bad analogy. Typing to programming is more like 'steering' or 'shifting gears' is to driving. It helps to drive efficiently and with less effort, but the real problem is to navigate, maintain awareness, know traffic rules, etc. |

How to represent a Rubik's Cube in a data structure [6][X][X] will probably yield the most convenient solution. Imho forget lists - those just obfuscate need for convenient model of cube surface. |

How can I quantify the amount of technical debt that exists in a project? @Thomas Owens: agreed, but almost any metric alone can be cheated. If used right and honestly, "TODO metric" provides cheap overview what code is actually missing or should be changed (=invisible debt for code-only based metrics). |

How can I quantify the amount of technical debt that exists in a project? Another simple metric I'd add to the list is number of TODO/HACK/WTF? comments in a codebase... |

industry averages for time spent on maintenance Maintenance isn't only about fixing bugs (defects) and its amount greatly varies for individual projects (=no definite answer). To me it seems you have rather quality issues. |

Why should I prefer composition over inheritance? Nice answer. I would summarize it that trying to achieve code reuse with inheritance is plain wrong path. Inheritance is very strong constraint (imho adding "power" is wrong analogy!) and creates strong dependency between inherited classes. Too many dependencies = bad code :) So inheritance (aka "behaves as") typically shines for unified interfaces (=hiding complexity of inherited classes), for anything else think twice or use composition... |

Do coding puzzles make good interview questions Yes, if all your code is as nonsensical and intentionally misleading as this example... |

Is it better to return NULL or empty values from functions/methods where the return value is not present? I am not sure about this advice, why all the hassle? Get -> must succeed or it throws exception. Find -> automatically expresses uncertainty of existence so null is possible outcome. And you still have pure function... |
