Comment Commenting, Like programming is an Art (Score 2, Informative) 660

Commenting well in a program can be the difference between hours of backtracking, reverse engineering, and other wastes of time. Even if the original programmer is the only one who will ever see them, good comments are just as important as good code. I don't know about you guys, but I find myself having to go back to something I did months and even years ago. Comments make the total difference between a quick add-on/fix or hours of hair pulling frustration. Learn to Code, then learn to comment. That combo is unstoppable

Comment 0% Paper on the wall.. 100% programmer (Score 1) 836

Call me lucky, but I have no paper on the wall.. just lots of experience (and more importantly I have found), a great reputation for quality... both of which you cannot gain in 4 years of college/vocational school. I think that the big fallacy when attempting to discuss these kinds of problems is being caught up in the "market" in one's specific geographic area. What is true with the "Big Cities", is not true for the rest of the world. In fact, areas like the one I live in, have a vacuum of talent. People need coding done and will pay regardless of what's on your wall. It comes down to "Can you do It?","How long will it take?" and "How much will it cost?".

Comment Aluminum Oxide Paste (Score 1) 554

Aluminum Oxide paste is the best thing I have found. You can get it from various electronic and retail stores (Usually marketed for Disc repair). Unlike toothpaste, Aluminum Oxide wipes clean without the sugary haze you can get from toothpaste.
