Which things instantly ring alarm bells when looking at code? Worse again, a for user_age? Really? |

Is “funny commenting” a bad practice or not? +1 clever, as long as it does no harm. Putting stop() //hammertime at every instance of stop isn't funny. |

What programming languages should every computer science student be taught? Assembly and Prolog are brilliant for teaching programmers - they emphasis the fact that Java/C++/C# isn't the 'worst thing ever' :p (Just kidding, I loved these languages. So much fun) |

I don't really understand “Backend/Serverside” when it comes to web-development? You didn't use freehand circles. :( |

Is Prolog professionally useful? Prolog (and poplog) are very good for AI coding. If you're not doing AI related things professionally/seriously, you may not use it at all. Like how a non-engineer may never use MATLAB seriously. |

Teamwork 101 for the solo newbie You're incorporating it after checking that their code works right? You have checks in place do you're making sure that you're not making everything break if you incorporate it? |

Professionalism of online username / handle I rebranded 7 years ago, now I'm this alias everywhere. Looking back at my old aliases, there's not a lot left. Good old bit-rot :) |

How to explain a layperson why a developer should not be interrupted while neck-deep in coding? I can imagine Wally from Dilbert using that analogy, then actually using it as an excuse to fall asleep and not be disturbed at work :p |

Dealing with frustration when things don't work Rubber Duck Debugging? pfft. I keep a Debugging Goomba on my desk for just this reason, ducks are better for the project management side of things. |

What are the advantages and disadvantages to using your real name online? @PaulButcher except when you find that one site you haven't signed up to where your "unique alias" is already taken (I tried to sign up to reddit, my username was already taken) sigh. |

Why would you hire in-house software developers instead of outsourcing them to develop a product for your company? I like how you outsourced your homework question :p |

What language, or language feature, do you wish made it to the mainstream? That wouldn't work for Oracle.. And trying it in Sybase (which uses TSQL I believe) it only returns 1 record, not a string of concatenates. Also, coalesce is usually just a nvl or isnull function, is it not? |

What is your favorite whiteboard interview problem? Ah, I see the issue w/#4. Your documents only have one keyword per row, so you can't have a cell equal both "Blue" and "Yellow" taps knows knowingly |

Code formatting SQL queries @m.edmondson : Source control will show differences between versions of code per line. So having multiple columns on one line will not display a nice difference compared to having columns on separate lines, thereby an easier way to see what columns have changed between versions. (This is true for the nice Perforce Visual source control anyway. Git might still look boring) |

What are some good realistic programming related movies (docu-dramas, documentaries, accurate fiction, etc)? Aw, I was training for the intern test and everything :( takes a shot |

What is a good way to pick up where you left off? I do that, except it's a bit confusing when you see //MODDatestamp try looking at foo to fix bar on an actual paper notebook, when coming in on a monday morning. I found this just now, and I have no idea what the heck I was thinking. |

When do you drop support for an old program version? So you're saying XP should be discontinued? :P |

What would be a few ideas/concepts from programming that I can have on paper and hang on a wall as art? Unless there's a Noob Sea in LotR, it's not :p It's a map of online communities imgs.xkcd.com/comics/online_communities.png < high res copy of xkcd.com/256 |
