Crunch-time Sleep Deprivation: Survival Strategies? +1 - crazy timing... I just got home from a 15 hour day and was thinking of composing a similar question. |

What kind of notation is -> @John, perhaps it would help if you rephrased your question and try a be a little more precise in what your asking. I'm not trying to be snarky, just trying to help you get the answer. |

What kind of notation is -> IIRC, a '*' in front of a pointer is member dereference. |

What are the worst false economies in software development? Or sadly, just hiring 1 cheap one... |

What are the worst false economies in software development? To buy or develop comes down to the right people doing due diligence. Simple as that. Think before you act. (+1) |

What are the worst false economies in software development? I can't count the number of times I've seen the management stop developers (2 to 3) for a day then a deployment specialist to crash fix something (and do this numerous times over the product's life cycle) instead of spending 2-4 days to do it right. Great answer. |

Keeping going, tough or not, finding things to keep motivated? Never seen this graph, experienced it a lot though... It's like the 'hitting the wall' when running. |

Have you ever been really badly burned by VSS? Twice daily backups?!? Wasn't that a constant backup? |

Enterprise knowledge sharing? @Pierre, how do see competition instead of collaboration? I respect your view, but I honestly don't see it. I'm curious. |

Enterprise knowledge sharing? Great question. We have the same issues. We call it the "what if <insert-name> gets hit by a bus" syndrome. Thanks for asking this. |

What is the most egregious waste of money you have seen, and what did you do about it? Ironically, it was their call to attend. Which is good. The need for change is seen on the macro scale. Once we're at the code level, it's more challenging. It's not perfect, but any way to bring transparency is good. |

What is the most egregious waste of money you have seen, and what did you do about it? As I said, "it's on going" and not easy. I'm also not sure if it's any one thing. Adopting agile practices and bringing transparency is a start. Example employing a daily stand-up helps. The CTO attends this nearly every day and pays attention to the "face planting" that is reported with the legacy code. The helps to identify some things. |
