What would truly happen if java.lang.String weren't final? @TomHawtin-tackline: References? |

Why are there so many programming languages? Why are new languages still being made? It might be if we ever get an editor for programs that's not limited to plain text. |

How many developers actually have private offices? @JarrodRoberson: Unfortunately, humans are unable to assess their own mental states reliably. When you measure stress levels and efficiency, you find that background noise reduces efficiency by 30%. When I tackle a complicated problem, I really don't want to collaborate, I want to concentrate and I can't do that when the a****** on the next table discuss some b******. |

How many developers actually have private offices? @JarrodRoberson: Re Montessori: This great for developing social skill but it breaks down for tests since the constant background noise interferes with concentration - much the same as cubicle farms. |

How many developers actually have private offices? @Jarrod: Anything is toxic, even water (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication). But not drinking any will kill you much faster. Creating panic and/or turning off your brain doesn't make life safer or longer. |

How many developers actually have private offices? @dreza: No one ever died from drinking soft drinks, so that can't be true. They don't dehydrate you, they just make sure your thirst doesn't go away (so you will drink too much). But it's always better to drink them than not drinking anything at all. Water or fruit juices (especially when mixed with water) would be better but most people can't be bothered so soft drinks are the next best thing. |

How to test a program in an efficient way? If someone else modifies a piece of code, they need to write the necessary tests, too. Asking me to write tests for an unknown, future developer doesn't make much sense. Also there is no way to avoid every bug/mistake. Relax. As long as most of the code is healthy, you will always have the time to fix unexpected problems and learn from them. |

Good resources for language design I strictly look at the problem from the consumer point of view. So I want to create grammars which are unlike C++/Perl where the reader has make guesses what some code does. |
