How many hours can you be really productive per day? How? For me, the situation has much improved. I'm still at my old job, but much more productive than before. Why? * My job grew much more interesting and my responsibilities (and freedoms) grew * I eat less * I move more (took up a sport, take bike to work) * My meds kicked in (turns out I have hypothyroidism, which makes you tired). This gradual "kicking in" took months. * I make an effort to start the day early and productively * I try and face obstacles I fear, so they don't become roadblocks. So if you're facing the dilemma I faced, ask yourself what caused it, and make changes in your life. |

How do you know you're writing good code? When, after it's done, it looks easy and self-evident. |

How to avoid “DO YOU HAZ TEH CODEZ” situations? This answer again proves that often, the best option is telling the truth in a polite way. The asker actually mentioned being interrupted by his colleague, and this (very good, don't get me wrong!) answer basically just tells him: Go ahead and tell your colleague that the interruptions are bothering you. Sometimes, the obvious needs to be pointed out before we can see it. |

Do multiple computer screens reduce productivity? @vartec MBPs are available in matte. (I also prefer matte, though I have to say, the glossy screen of my MBP - from a time when they did only come in glossy - only bothers me when I'm outside with it) |

How faster an IIf is as compared to if and in when to use it? @Yannis Rizos While we're on the subject of syntax and naming things, ? : is not the ternary operator, it is a ternary operator. While your language might not implement other ternary operators, this is far from the only one possible. Ternary simply means it takes three arguments. If you want to give it a name, call it the conditional operator. |

Mobile development, recommended computer configuration? For Windows, I've had great experience with Parallels as the VM, but I'm sure other solutions are also quite good. DO NOT USE A WINE-BASED SOLUTION, those aren't VMs. With a VM, you do need lots of RAM, I'd consider 4 GB the bare minimum. I've granted myself the luxury of 8 GB. Also, you'll need at least 120 GB of storage space (60 would be enough for OSX and apps alone, but a Win7 VM can easily grow to 30 GB, and the dev documentation for Xcode is 5+ GB), so don't go for the very smallest SSD if you don't plan on using an (unsupported; involves screwing inside laptop) SSD+HDD setup. |

How many hours can you be really productive per day? How? You sound self-employed. Congratulations on being able to pull off such a rigorous schedule, and thank you for your answer! I can see a few trends emerging from your and many other answers: Chunk time and tasks, eat healthily, do not stare at the screen ALL the time, move your body. And try to be enthusiastic about your work. |
