Senior software developer and sole proprietor. I have 14 years of development experience, half of them freelance and the other half corporate. So I have knowledge of the best things you'd learn from each type of environment.

Using EC2 instance as main development platform It was a joke. I've encountered a ton of copy-and-paste programmers over the years. |

Are long methods always bad? Also known as "A function should do ONE THING." |

Is catching general exceptions really a bad thing? It might be more helpful with examples like "OutOfMemory" or "NullReference" or what not. But this here is the right answer. The code analysis rule title is poorly worded. But the best-practice is to try to handle the kind of exceptions you will get, with a certain understanding of what they would be, assuming you wrote the code or have access to documentation, and then have a general exception catch. A real-world example would be in the olden days when performing a server-side Response.Redirect() in an ASP.NET page would result in ThreadAbortExceptions, which were quite unnecessary. |

Why are many programmers moving their code to github? I was wondering the same thing, so I went and signed up, and pretty soon I was sold, too. I switched all of my projects over, and got all my clients on board as well. |

Why is the use of abstractions (such as LINQ) so taboo? Shrug it off. If you're into LINQ, you don't need to try to pretend you're not into it in order to get these clients to like you. They're just not the right kinds of clients for you. |
