If you have any questions about the moderation on Programmers, please post a question on meta or chat. Any other attempts at communication will be ignored.

I've been a developer for nearly 30 years in one form or another. I learnt Pascal at University and my first job was programming in Fortran 66. I've since moved to C# & .NET via Ada, C and C++.

Over the years I've worked for companies of all sizes from 3 person startups to multi-national organisations with 1000's of employees. I've also worked at all levels from junior programmer to team lead/technical architect and one stint as a manager. I've seen various development methodologies from classic waterfall to Scrum implemented and used with varying degrees of success.

One of these days I'm going to get round to these books on my Amazon Wish List

May 2	comment	What are the differences between QA engineers and software engineers? @Kazark - I marked this as a duplicate over a year ago! I can't remember why I did now. There don't appear to be any flags so I was probably using the close /review queue. If you feel it's not a duplicate flag it for moderator attention so one of the other moderators can review it.
