How can I learn about Distributed Software Systems as efficiently as possible? @Mark Trapp Would not "I'm trying to find a good base of literature from which to learn distributed operations" qualify as a specific problem? I've seen many other "recommended book list" questions.... |

How can I learn about Distributed Software Systems as efficiently as possible? Not recent, but informative nonetheless. Good find. |

What are developer's problems with helpful error messages? Certainly possible; but the code to match the DB to the process (especially over the network) may be complicated/slow/error prone itself, which could result in some additonal frustration ("I'm just trying to restore the local (*#%^!% file!!!! WHY DO I CARE THAT THE NETWORK SHARES ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE!??!?!") |

Are these company terms good for a programmer or should I move? I've worked at some huge corporate development houses that explicitly did NOT have this clause; its far from an industry standard. |

What personal milestones can you use to measure growth in your programming abilities? How does one locate a "local development scene"? I'm completely unfamiliar with that concept. |

Why does Microsoft have such a bad reputation with the people involved in open source? I always thought that Adobe was the new Microsoft, but that might be a personal thing against their desktop software. |

Optimizing your Daily Commute The safety IS what concerns me; if I don't have something intellectually stimulating going on, I'm liable to nod off. So a podcast/lecture series/audiobook or SOMETHING is needed. |

Which features from other IDEs/editors you wish you have in Visual Studio? ...That is the coolest thing I've seen all month. |

What is the best interview question you were asked? It doesn't necessarily have to be weird; for example, the exact interview question was "What if you think the best solution is a WPF application, but your boss wants to use Windows Forms because its a more reliable and trusted technology." |

What is the best interview question you were asked? Is this one a good sign? I got asked this question, but then they said they'd let me know "in a few weeks", so now I'm sweating it out.... |

Is this a good idea to use humour during a job interview? +1 for "nobody LIKES using Crystal Reports..." |

Is it ever ok to have an empty catch statement? This, a million times. Especially when you consider that if you're logging, you may be in a terrible state; you could be out of memory, could be crashing, could be anything. At this point, when you're logging an error, and THAT fails, the only responsible thing to do is nothing; you have no guarantee that anything you try will not make it worse. |

Is Programming generally an overtime exempt field? Good point. Edited to reflect. |
