Can being funny hurt your promotion opportunities? Ha! @garbage, I think you missed @muntoo's joke. Talk about irony... Wait, is this irony? |

Should we use progressing job titles for programmers? At Microsoft, they have also defined an "Individual Contributor", which is basically a senior developer, without management/mentoring responsibilities. |

Is this a good idea to use humour during a job interview? Actually, I believe that especially if you are nervous you should try some humor - it will break the tension (especially yours), and make you relax, allowing you to interview better. Of course, don't do it if you cant pull it off - and if you're not usually humorous... |

How do software projects go over budget and under-deliver? @Chris, that would be the MEDIAN, not the average. In fact, there are many very, very brilliant people, and a limit to how stupid people can be - ergo, most people are quite a bit stupider than the average. |

Most regrettable design or programming decision you made? I've found that most programmers consider XSLT a bad choice, simply because they dont get it. Its extremely useful for a small set of problems, much more efficient than many other solutions. On the other hand, it is used WAY too often, and mostly NOT in that small set of problems... |

How can I really “wow” an employer at an interview? Minty, I dont find that to be universally true - au contraire, many employers dont see it that way, their attitude is more "... and you should thank me for letting you have a job" (especially now more than ever, except 2000-2004....) |
