    I'd argue that's a sign that John Deere is just out to maximize their profits at the expense of everyone else. Plenty of evidence out there to support that. Sure, any company's goa…

    I don't know if I agree that the second pass is optional. I've found that pass is the one I've seen have the most benefit, particularly with newer developers. It serves two purpose…

    The key part in that is communication. That’s makes all the difference whether it be with BA’s, QA’s, or the end user. Speeds up the development cycle and greatly reduces the numbe…

    I noticed the same thing when interviewing people. Answering why a decision was made would always trip people up, but it's far more revealing than any demo project can be. It doesn…

    Hardly accurate but coming from the C# world I thought of traits as a hybrid between an interface and extension methods. I think the biggest challenge was that, at first glance, a …

    I'm on that boat too. Most recently had a ticket about their DNS servers not picking up changes. If I recall correctly the initial response was quick but every subsequent response …

    The levels I'm thinking of are the ones that require 200 green or multiple combos of special candies. Add in the chocolate things and the tornadoes and it just gets worse. I don't …

    My biggest gripe is that the game is designed in a way to extract as much money as possible to the detriment of the game itself. There are several levels you'll play where you have…

    I realized over the years that it's those high school and college years where you can really expand your skill sets where as once the real world starts throwing things at you you s…

    Well, on my system (Ubuntu) at least this is not the case and renaming the files gets past the errors and on to actual build errors: runtime/cxx.cc:74:41: error: ‘operator new’ tak…

    I wish I could say I had the same experience with the box. The firmwares were consistently buggy and never quite worked well. By far the two most frustrating aspects being the forc…

    This reminds me of a situation I've seen and found myself in far too many times. When I encounter a performance problem I immediately think about areas where, during initial develo…

    I've always thought "being the dumbest person in the room" was a bit of overstatement to the truth. It's probably more accurate to say you don't want to be the smartest person. Not…
