Deploy PHP project without giving away the source code? The question makes it sound like they're doing that already, since he talks about the cost of hosting Java vs. PHP. It's all a bit odd. |

Deploy PHP project without giving away the source code? Is the difference in cost between Java and PHP hosting really such that it was cheaper to redevelop the entire solution in another language??? I find that impossible to believe. |

Why is C++ preferred over C for commercial applications? When contemplating ugly constructs in C++, you should probably take a minute to consider how you would solve the problems they are intended to solve, in C. You might find the results even uglier. |

Working in a company that does not comment their code at all? @JohnSyrinek: I would guess they have 30+ projects because they are an agency that has developed 30+ things for different clients; not because they are a software house that has taken 30+ different things to market. |

Is there a reputation that C# and Java is for work while Ruby or Python is for fun? Why? I can well imagine that many people would want to use something different between "work" and "fun", because using the same tools for fun might make it less fun and more like work. If you accept that premise, then more-widely-used-in-industry languages like C# and Java will skew towards the work side, while less-widely-used languages like Ruby and Python will skew towards the fun side. |

What is the benefit of the MoSCoW technique? @RobbieDee true but it doesn't hurt to put the link in the question. I have edited it and added it. |

Keyword Collection, ManyToOne or OneToMany relationship? I'm not knowledgeable about Hibernate so can't help with your fetching, but many-to-many is absolutely how these things are related. Every movie can have multiple keywords and categories, and every keyword and category can apply to multiple movies. |

Developing website that will have mobile app in future should be in PHP or JSP? You should use whichever language you are most experienced and comfortable in. If you are not experienced and comfortable in any language usable for web development, then pick whatever you most want to learn, and go forward with the knowledge that this will be a learning experience, and that you will probably not do a particularly successful job of it. |

Why don't I see many unit test projects that bring up and tear down a DB? (ASP.NET MVC) While this is correct, I think the key thrust of the question was "why aren't there tests that do this", the use of the phrase "unit test" in the question is a distraction from what is really being asked. |

What should I do when waiting for a review? @DocBrown I don't think this answers really focuses on a technical solution. The core of the solution is "you should have a queue of tasks assigned to you". That is an organizational solution to an organizational problem. Whether that queue is maintained in an issue tracker, emails, a spreadsheet, a whiteboard, or a stack of post it notes is just a detail. |

Prevent code from getting mess I have to second the advice to start working on an exit strategy from VB6. This is a platform that is 15 years old, was effectively replaced by VB.NET more than 10 years ago, and has not had even extended support from Microsoft for more than 5 years. It's a dead platform and you will genuinely damage your future career opportunities if you stay on it too long. |

Can an 81 digit number generator lead to copyright infringement? It's an 81 digit number in a base-9 system expressed with the digits 1-9 rather than 0-8. :-) |

Estimating cost of labor for a controlled experiment A "large IT consulting firm" isn't going to provide programmers for you for $70,000/year. Expect to be paying several hundred dollars per hour, or in the order of several hundred thousand dollars per programmer for your six month study. Maybe $20 million total? |

I've been told HTML is a markup language, C++ is a programming language, what could make that difference? @Brian: interesting one! I guess I've always simply thought of elisp as an implementation of Lisp, which clearly is a programming language, even though this particular implementation is much more specific in its scope of purpose. |

Programmer's career and Call of C++ @user1056226: where do you think those engines come from? Engine fairies? No, they come from C++ programmers. Whether you're writing a game engine at a game studio or writing it at a middleware vendor, you're writing a game engine. |

What is the real point of an “oracle” in the SW testing? What are you defining an "oracle" as? You say "I have a specification, why should I bother with thinking about oracles?", but in the Wikipedia article Oracle (software testing) the very first example given of an oracle is "specifications and documentation". |
