What is the appeal of Systems Hungarian? 2 I prefer full suffixes because prefixes can get pretty silly (what is a tssb or a tsddi? Yes, they exist). Abbreviations also have the problem of uniformity, taking TextBox there could be inconsistency about whether it's tb or txt (I have personally seen a 'senior' dev use both on a single window). For 3 I drop the Hungarian when the variable reaches its final intended type (e.g. I would use value and strValue in your example). |

How do big companies of software developers check for bugs in their programs? Just one from where I work - performance regression testing: we keep a constant metric on the performance of our system against a known an constant environment. We have a unique problem where we only started recently (2-3 years back) doing unit tests (our LOC was about 200-500K at that point) - so we also have triage: "how likely is that by fixing this we introduce another problem," not ideal but if you 'CC' the right people you usually get a pretty accurate answer. |

Best practice to query data from MS SQL Server in C Sharp? @GrandmasterB we have a substantial amount of SQL inline in C# (our C# LOC is near 2 million now) - and 6 years later it's coming back to bite us because we now need to hunt down that inline SQL (we recently hired a SQL expert - so we are doing performance tweaks). Trust me: you never know how big your app will get and how things will change in the future. Keep different languages in different files - even if you just delegate it off to manifest resources. You could also // SQLCODE it - but you need to remember to do that. |

Moving from TFS to Distributed SCM @DannyVarod good point. My biggest motivation is the concept of cheap branches, that exist on the server, that can be continued or extended by someone else. The whole shelveset model is killing us here (e.g. adding a feature that relies on another feature, that is also currently in development). It's just an example - I do have motivations for DSCM, so I am less interested in why to move to it - but rather which one and how. |

Moving from TFS to Distributed SCM Thanks for the veracity link, but the big problem with Git (although I love it for my own stuff) is that we will waste a huge amount of time with bad pushes - time we can't afford. |

Moving from TFS to Distributed SCM @Oded you could make that an answer, it's really helpful and deserves upvotes. |

Moving from TFS to Distributed SCM I should mention that cloud-based solutions are not an option. It needs to be on-premises. |
