I was in my late twenties before I started programming professionally. Always had super crappy jobs before that, and grew up without a lot of money, so I ended up with a fix-all-the-things mindset. I'd think something…
Anything where I have to really focus on motor skills seems to work for me. I used do indoor and outdoor rock climbing. I also used to free climb buildings, when I was younger and less risk-averse (I'm not suggesting…
This is just my personal opinion, but I really appreciate it when things like this are desktop apps. I like having my data stored locally and having full control over what's going on and who has what. I don't want to…
This is all speculation, on my part (certainly not an expert in this area) In the article they say that "Contextual variability can strengthen retention [15] and generalization of skills", but that they "chose to…
If I'm reading the source article correctly (linked below by Perixoog), it sounds like change was so subtle that the participants themselves weren't even aware of it: "Participants were unaware of this manipulation" "We…
I can't speak for the gp, but they were talking about inheriting a project/legacy code. If I end up needing to go through legacy code, and there are a lot of gnarly, long methods/blocks, I'll usually add comments and…
I went looking around for other opinions after leaving my other answer and found this SO question. You might be interested in glancing over it: http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/53086/are-reg... It made me…
I did the transition the other direction. When I was teaching myself to code, I was on the linux side writing ruby in vim. My first full time job was writing C# in Visual Studio. I really dig both environments, though…
I hear you. Seven year old MVC forms with five pages of inputs, backed up to a single forty column table via Entity Framework, and a controller with another five pages of arcane conditionals for binding and validations…
From sibling post: > when dealing with those annoying UBER-Forms that tend to happen when dealing with legacy WinForms code :) This is similar to my experience. I use regions pretty often when I'm refactoring overgrown…
