Mar 21	comment	Managing an undercover SVN repository @georgesl git-svn is a valid approach, just keep in mind there may be certain SVN operations that don't map very well into git-svn workflow. Also, the article Michael points to is 5 years old, that's a long time for tools to change (and hopefully improve).
Mar 21	comment	Managing an undercover SVN repository Although those are valid points, they don't really answer the question.
Mar 21	comment	Managing an undercover SVN repository Do you commit frequently because you want a remote backup in case something horrible happens to your machine, or just as a safety net in case you want to undo stuff? If safety net, you may as well just install git locally and use that to commit until everything is "ready." You may also be interested in this question Using git within an svn checkout? (without git-svn).
Feb 19	comment	Moving away from .Net to Ruby and coping without intellisense To be fair, RubyMine isn't that expensive, especially compared to Microsoft pricing for Visual Studio (non express). Might be worth just biting the bullet and paying for a personal license.
Feb 7	comment	Is there any point in distributing separate .NET 3.5 and 4.0 assemblies? Actually default method arguments (and named parameters) are a compiler feature, not a framework feature. You can target .NET 3.5 and still use those features, they just won't compile with older compilers (like what's built into VS 2008).
Jan 23	comment	Is Using Locking/Unlocking in Version Control an Anti-Pattern? @mike Excellent point, thank you.
Jan 18	comment	Newbie ASP.NET developer being forced into MVC4 with WebForms There's also the option of trying to convince them to use Razor view engine instead of WebForms view engine. And although you probably want to avoid this in production, they could live side by side, sort of.
Jan 14	comment	async+await == sync? @Mrchief: Yes, Akim said what I was trying to say, but better.
Jan 14	comment	async+await == sync? Not exactly. Your code is synchronous in a sense that nothing happens until you get a result. However underneath, you probably gave up the thread you were running on until the async method returned, then got assigned another thread to continue executing.
Dec 6	comment	Is there tool agnostic terminology for source control activities? What kind of conversation do you want to have with the team. I feel like when it comes to process, the activities you listed may be a bit too low level?
Dec 5	comment	Is there tool agnostic terminology for source control activities? Among centralized ones and among distributed ones the language is pretty similar. Some of the vocabulary won't map well across the two different types just because conceptually they are different.
Nov 30	comment	Why is the sudden increase in number of Git submitters on Debian popcon graph in 2010-01? I think both git and hg started around 2005, by 2010 they were 5 year old technology. I wouldn't have called them mainstream, but I don't think bleeding edge is correct either.
Nov 28	comment	Does async/await makes simple thing unnecessary complicated? I added some links regarding async and constructors.
Aug 27	comment	How involved should our employers be in our education? @ApprenticeQueue At which point you are able to leave and find a company that does show an interest in your career. You don't just compete with other developers for work, companies also compete withe each other for talent.
Aug 6	comment	When, how and why should one upgrade (Java) frameworks? @NikolayFominyh Although change for the sake of change is bad, that kind of attitude often leads to poorly maintained and poorly understood software that breaks in the most inconvenient way possible. As Martijn points out, eventually vendor drops support, or you need a bug/security fix. The longer you've put off upgrades, the harder it will be.
Aug 6	comment	Are there open source alternatives to Bitbucket, Github, Kiln, and similar DVCS browsing and management tools? Cydra project looks like it barely got started a few months ago and doesn't appear to be very actively developed. May be a bit immature to mention.
Jul 24	comment	git extensions integration into VS and commit problem What do you mean by "missing"?
Jul 22	comment	Is it better to use multiple html pages or just change content on the same page using JavaScript? If it's logically different content it would make more sense for it to be on different pages.
Jul 22	comment	Is it better to use multiple html pages or just change content on the same page using JavaScript? Is it three different views of the same content (different filters, etc) or is it three different pages (like home, help, about us)?
Jul 18	comment	How to motivate co-workers to write unit-tests? In theory it's a good idea, but it's hard to answer the question So if you know unit tests are good, why aren't you using them? without sounding like like an asshole eg I don't know how or I don't have time or I'm smart my code should work. That situation would normally make people defensive and you'd get poor results.
