How do you maintain focus when a particular aspect of programming takes 10+ seconds to complete? I have a similar problem (hence this comment :) ). I found what really helps is less coffee in the morning, or none at all. I also try to work in the morning and schedule meetings in the afternoon. Hope that helps .... oh look a kitty. |

Is the abundance of frameworks dumbing down programmers? I agree with this, and I notice you said 'learn it' not 'do it'. @mipadi, I have never written a compiler, but (long ago) read a book or two and tried to wrap my head around the principals. To this day, I think that (to a degree) helps in learning new languages. In short, IMHO it's important to have an understanding of what goes on under the hood. |

How do you estimate? +1 for breaking it down to 1, 2 or 3 days. Nothing larger. |

Does teaching programming make you a better programmer +1 for " you can also learn from your students if you're open minded about it" I have experienced this when I taught a few night classes, years ago. |

Anyone code at a treadmill desk? Instead of spending bucks on something you may or may not like, why not just get out for 30-45 minutes during the day? I make it a point to run 3-4 miles 2-3 times during the week at lunch. If you think you're out of shape, start a couch to 5K program. You can't begin to imagine how much better you feel getting your heart rate up for a bit. And you'd be surprised how many issues you solve by getting away from your desk. Another idea is (if possible) bike to work. I am able to do this as well, and it's great. Just a thought. |

What advantages does TFS have over Tortoise SVN in this scenario? VSS to SVN is like going from hell to heaven. Switch ASAP. |
