A former Java, Cold Fusion, VB, Infopump, OpenROAD, asp, jsp, php, javascript, actionscript, C, C++ developer who has now got spent 5 year dedicatedly programming in .NET (mostly C#).
Have recently become addicted to Python and lisp.
I am also stumbling along with F# and Erlang for no readily apparent reason other than they're there

What can be the cause of new bugs appearing somewhere else when a known bug is solved? I liken it to a bubble in a sheet of contact. Push it down, it pops up elsewhere. The better my coding gets, the less I see it |

Biggest mistake you've ever made If you got into programming for the money, you should get a new career. Not that the money isn't there, it is, but you need the obsessive love for programming that true developers have, or you will burn out very quickly |

How do you keep focused through long compiles Damn, I knew someone would come up with a 'greater discipline' answer ;p Actually, whilst I think I do that a lot already, that would be a brilliant habit to entrench. It's so tempting at times to let the compiler tell me what I need to work on next, rather than have to think about it. |
