Sep 10	comment	General programming techniques to speed up coding time I'm also going to add: contest != profession. I think it is two separate questions: code fast for competition vs. code fast professionally. The techniques and practices are totally different. Competition coding is all about solving a problem (typically mathematical) quickly at the expense of "clean code". Programming professionally means you get the job done quickly, but in a maintainable pragmatic manner. The techniques for the latter will not be the same as the former.

Sep 10	comment	General programming techniques to speed up coding time +1 - I totally agree with this. Knowing how to quickly write code in STL is huge in these kinds of competitions.
Sep 10	comment	General programming techniques to speed up coding time I agree with Codism. These programming competitions are about laying code out as fast as possible no matter how ugly it is. Many times, you hardly get a chance to compile and run the code at will. I agree with the principle of TDD, but I'm not sure I can recommend it for an ACM or TopCoder competition.
Apr 11	comment	“As” Naming Convention @DuckMaestro - With your explanation, it makes sense...but would it be obvious to the next guy working on your code?
Mar 21	comment	What are the chances of Google's Go becoming a mainstream language? I think Go will only surpass C/C++ as a system language is if Google's OS takes off. If Google's OS doesn't take off, I think it is going to have a much harder time hitting the mainstream.
Feb 17	comment	What is a single word I can use to describe a non-query SQL statement? Actually, the goal is to create a generic DOA that wraps a nice OOP pattern we are using. This object abstract the database plumbing and will be used by our data tier.
Feb 17	comment	What is a single word I can use to describe a non-query SQL statement? I need to modify my question. I shouldn't have mentioned DDL because we aren't allowing those. OracleDMLStatement works perfectly.
Feb 17	comment	What is a single word I can use to describe a non-query SQL statement? You are correct. I should have not have said DDL because we aren't allowing those. DML is all we are doing. I'll modify my question to exclude DDL.
Feb 17	comment	What is a single word I can use to describe a non-query SQL statement? @FrustratedWithFormsDesigner - A simple insert statement. It uses SQL but it isn't a query.
Feb 17	comment	What is a single word I can use to describe a non-query SQL statement? DML and DDL covers all of it. I'm just looking for name suggestions that imply a statement that isn't a query.
Jan 31	comment	Why are most browsers developed in C++ +10 - Other than raw performance, I think this is the REAL reason most browsers are in C++ with the exception of IE. Most browsers work on multiple platforms and there are few languages/frameworks that can perform at the same level AND be cross-platform compatible.
Dec 21	comment	Key bindings war in my brain ViEmu is by far the best VIM emulation is VS. I highly recommend it.
Feb 9	comment	When is it reasonable to create my own programming language? I do have to mention that in "The Pragmatic Programmer" that writing smaller, domain-specific languages to aid in a task is incredibly helpful and encouraged. I wouldn't recommend writing a full-fledged general purpose language, but a metalanguage that generates code can be helpful at times.
