I like to spend time with my lovely wife, our two beautiful daughters, and our dog. I'm also a fan of geek humor, and I've been known to flip out and write code… elegant code, if I'm really lucky.

comment Is a company order to switch to a certain IDE a red flag?
@mikera If any company thinks they need "… to hire and train 100 entry-level Java coders in India…" then that is a huge red flag right there. If the company thinks that the best approach to software is to throw tons of inexperienced people in a timezone that's shifted 8-11 hours (from the U.S., at least), it's probably not the sort of place that will be very satisfying to work. Or to provide much in the way of job security, either.

comment Why is Mercurial considered to be easier than Git?
The hg equivalent to git branches are actually called bookmarks. As far as I know, hg branches don't have an equivalent in git.

comment Recommended Schooling / Certification for an impoverished programmer
Re: not-quite functional programs -> That's why I specified "that people care about". If you were to work on a very new project, that might not pay off right away, though it can pay off in a big way later. I'm sure when John Resig started jQuery, it wasn't that impressive to HR screening types, but it's probably a different story now.
