Is there any reason to use C++ instead of C, Perl, Python, etc.? @suslik: Wow, I'm shocked that anyone would actually use python for that kind of system. I agree with you about bad noob python code; I've seen some myself. |

My boss decided to add a “person to blame” field to every bug report. How can I convince him that it's a bad idea? Not the downvoter, but the question explicitly said there were multiple attempts made to convince the boss it was a bad idea, so the second paragraph of your answer wasn't appropriate. |

What are good keyboards for programming? I used to have one of these. It was great until I had to do something on another machine that didn't have it. |

vim (or other text editor) ability as a metric for potential tech job candidates As a longtime user of vim, I can tell you that advanced vim usage is programming. For example, the command to replace foo with bar in starting from the next line starting with the word "begin" through the next line starting with the word "end" could be copied and pasted into a sed script. |

Is hungarian notation a workaround for languages with insufficiently-expressive (i.e. Haskell-style) static typing? Editors capable of searching for sCustomer without picking up sCustomerName (vi and emacs are 2 examples) have existed since the 70's. |
