I'm a hobbyist programmer, part-time sysadmin, and full-time data center automation consulting engineer.
I have experience with myriad editors, shells, and OSes. And, while I'm an ardent emacs user, am pretty much beyond the religious wars of "what's best" when it comes to platform, editor, or toolset: if it works for the problem at hand, and you know it, it's [probably] worthwhile :)

What is the name of this relationship between objects? sounds somewhat graph-like to me .. with additional union rules as delineated to @RandallCook by the OP |

Is it a good idea to format the code in eclipse using auto format I use the auto-formatting capacity of emacs all the time - there are potentials for collisions (eg with SC merging) .. but overall, standardizing your format is extremely helpful |

Where did the convention of naming command line arguments as 'argv' come from? and I always the the "v" stood for "values" |

Using industrial earmuffs while programming to filter out talking best answer here - the combined plug+muff route is one I use when going to a firing range, operating very loud equipment, etc |

Building a computer system with JS? @ErikReppen - there was a Burroughs machine in the 1960s or 70s that used COBOL as its Assembly language |

map data structure in pacman @GlenH7 - and 307200 8-byte (let's presume 64bit for a minute) elements is only what? 2.4MB? That is nothing! |

Peer programming and experience sharing the same way folks benefit by being paired elsewhere "outside their comfort zones" - not all with be good; some may suck. But you'll be exposed to more and be able to morph your style as needed in the future. |

Why don't languages include implication as a logical operator? back in the day, Tandy BASIC had IMP |

What makes a component or product “enterprise” software vs non-enterprise ready? I don't know about the "enterprise" software you've seen ... but an awful lot of what I have has "security" bolted-on at best :( |

Should a software developer get a yearly equipment budget? @AlanBarber - your employer makes you pay for your own equipment? I guess that means when you leave, you get to keep it, right? |
