comment Is “Hiring only the Best” a really practical advice for normal desktop application programming?
@Stargazer712 some of us do care about other things than just money. While it doesn't hurt to have a good starting pay, it isn't the end all be all. :)

comment How would you answer this job-interview question?
WTF? This question is an exact copy of what @Martin Wickman posted. I think I am missing something or someone is trying to get rep...

comment Are captchas worth the decreased usability?
+1 I use these on my blog. It catches a lot. But then again my blog isn't popular so maybe no one cares to try and spam it.

comment Best time to start writing technical blogs
This is exactly why I have my blog. I have dyslexia among other things, so I need to practice at writing just as much as I practice at programming. As of right now, exactly zero subscribers and some hits from google. :)

Get a dart board. Throw a dart at it. Times the number you hit by 10. Than double it.

@tmitchel2- I am pretty sure RavenDB is written in .net.

comment what do you do to keep learning?
@Michael, I feel I can talk intelligently about tons of things. Now if I had to actually use them or were considering them for a project, there would be a ramp up period but at least it wouldn't be a cold start.

comment Will high reputation in Stack Overflow help to get a good job?
While not easy to get a high score, I wouldn't use just a SO score to determine the quality of a developer. This is for the same reason that I don't assume someone that has a MS MVP title is intelligent. The ability to regurgitate knowledge doesn't equal a good developer. Sorry but relying on one indication of skill is an amateur move at best. On a side note, While it doesn't occur often, it is funny to see someone answer get up-voted because of who they are or rep, even though it is wrong.
