As a polyglot programmer, I always choose the best language or technology for the task I wish to accomplish. I'm never afraid to learn new things for a project.

How did programmers work back when a computer was very expensive, rare, as big as a room? @KateGregory: That was a joke... They didn't have a computer in the building, so they used the information highway to get their compilation done. |

Legal Applications of Metamorphic Code @V_P: On program start, the method is one thing (a stub that calls the JIT); after it is called the first time, the method is a different thing (a compiled method). Seems metamorphic to me. Does the mutation have to be algorithmically inferred of the original code? Why? |

Is it wise to ask about design decisions made on a product during an interview? If it's exhausting, you interview too much. In my company we have 30-odd interviewers, so we only get to do an interview every couple of weeks or so, and not at all if we're too busy. I like interviewing. It's a break from the routine. |

Is “White-Board-Coding” inappropriate during interviews? I can't code on whiteboards. Well, I can, but I'd be the only one able to read the code. I can also write legibly, but I'm quite slow at it and it takes effort which distracts me from the actual coding task. What's wrong with putting them in front of an IDE to write those short snippets? Then you could see their actual workflow, and you can also test how they deal with unknown IDEs or languages (by using obscure ones). |

Is there such thing as an example driven parser generator or ad-hoc DSL development? @JonPurdy, Gabriel: Parser combinators are very cool, but when I've tried to use them I always found their output format was a bit to similar to the input format for me. I haven't used the Haskell version though. |
