Hello there! My name's Jordan Earls and I'm a programmer. Recently, I've been doing almost exclusively work in .Net with C#, a bit of raw IL, and in some cases a hefty serving of code generating T4(it's the meta-future!). Sometimes I do a bit of embedded/electronic work with C and C++(http://mbed.org rocks, btw). And finally, I have at least some competence in Ruby, Delphi, and Javascript.
I currently work for PreEmptive Solutions on the Dotfuscator team and troll the dotfuscator tag on occasion.
Most of my personal projects are open source and BSD licensed. The majority of them are at bitbucket with the rest of them being listed on my projects page
Also, you can follow me on the twitters @earlzdotnet

Other than XML, what are some examples of “coding” a GUI design? @Euphoric good point :) Beyond DOS framebuffer programs, I've never seen it done any other way though :/ |

How did they debug segmentation faults before protected memory? Funny enough... On x86, to set the interrupt table for int 0 you HAVE to write to memory location 0. |

Does open sourcing your work help you? I'd argue to say "yes" in most cases, however I'd like to give a HUGE "YES" to if you are writing something that will be used or consumed by other programmers (APIs, tools, etc) |

How often is an average programmer expected to reach flow? @Giorgio not necessarily. If you have good test coverage in place, you can make your changes assured that if you did something wrong a test would catch it. That being said, I don't have enough experience to know if writing tests first helps or inhibits flow. I also am no scientist, just giving facts about my own personal experience. I've not heard of any studies of flow/"in the zone" stuff |

How can you provide a public writeable API and not get spammed? @Izkata well yes, but that's why you put measures in place. For an "actual" API, a honey-pot isn't really going to work. Captchas might, but then they're not machine "usable" |

Why have hardware-accelerated vector graphics not taken off? @Archagon can you give a meta reference for when subjective became allowed? |
