How do you know if you're an underpaid developer? That's where you need to do some research, using a salary calculator as described above, to see what an average person in your position, experience level, and region is making. |

Is it OK to have multiple asserts in a single unit test? I've seen cases where multiple asserts were used instead of RowTest (MbUnit) / TestCase (NUnit) to test a variety of edge-case behaviors. Use the proper tools for the job! (Unfortunately, MSTest doesn't seem to have a row-test capability yet.) |

Should Repositories return IQueryable? If you're just going to use an IQueryable, then why would you even use a repository? Repositories are intended to hide implementation details. (Also, WCF Data Services is quite a bit newer than most of the solutions I've worked on in the past 4 years that used a repository like this... So it's not likely that they'll be updated anytime soon just to make use of a shiny new toy.) |

Should Repositories return IQueryable? @MikeBrown The point of this question - and my answer - is that you want to expose the behavior or the advantages of IQueryable without exposing the IQueryable itself. How are you going to do that, with the built-in API? |

Is the average number of bugs per loc the same for different programming languages? I think your edit (Update:) is the core of the problem. Or, as Mark Twain said, there's three kinds of lies: Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics. |

What should a test method test? Also, keep in mind that putting multiple, dissimilar tests in one method (first approach) will not fully exercise your classes - as soon as one of them fails, the rest of the assertions in that test method do not even run. |

How do I handle having so many SQL queries? @LieRyan As long as you're operating on the IQueryable, this is possible in LINQ as well. |

Why is (position < size) such a prevalent pattern in conditionals? Depending on your development tools, many will also warn (or error) on the variable = constant construct. |

Starting consulting while employed - conflict of interest Ross' advice is spot-on. I had a similar situation recently, where my former employer had a couple of specific clients that they had little interest in maintaining after I left, so we came to a mutual agreement (between the company, myself, and the affected clients) that, at the company's choice, they could defer any future work to me if I chose to take it. The client is happy because they don't lose support, the company is happy because nobody else knows the client code as I do, and I'm happy because extra potential income. |
