What's it like to work in a large programming team? Read 'The mythical man month' to gain some perspective... it hasn't appealed to me though (most I've ever worked with is 4 other developers, plus 3 testers and a pm). Larger teams sounds like it's just meeting after meeting after meeting :( |

What should every programmer know? Also, Big 0 notation is useful for estimating performance. If you write a chunk of code, it's useful to be able to look at it and think 'thats not gonna scale'. |

Is premature optimization really the root of all evil? For really small numbers of items, the recursion required for quicksort can make it slower than a decent bubblesort though... not to mention that a bubblesort is quicker in the worst-case scenario of quicksort (namely quicksorting a sorted list) |
