I sometimes feel alone in this opinion, but I believe that source code readability is a very, very, close second place to code correctness. Anyone else?

I find LINQ quite readable in most cases.

StyleCop is meant to be used on user-written source files. Do not use it on auto-generated files

Hmmm, I always thought StyleCop was intended for the garbage can...

Is that the latest incarnation of FXCOP? Perfect tool if you want lots of criticism of perfectly valid code if so.

No, FxCop and StyleCop are different. StyleCop analyzes your source code, whereas FxCop does static analysis on your compiled assembly. Normally you are supposed to use them together, so they complement each other.

Oh, ok. In which case, I hate *both* of them.

They complement each other, but they certainly don't compliment you. BTW - they work really well in combination with NDepend.

Interesting. Never used NDepend myself though.

i hate the need for styling in first place.
|
|
|
|

I'll admit that I'm not a fan of all styling conventions, and I think when working on the same project as others, it's nice to just stay consistent. But the underscore in variable names is killing me, I didn't think it would bug me so much.

I don't like style cop unless I am offshoring unthinking work to unthinking developers. True software is written by creative professionals. If I wanted to be micromanaged I would work in a call center.

So? Edit it. Big fat hairy deal. I delete mine and put that crap in the main file like VS 2002 and 2003 do. Just because I can.

I've had my own domain and Web site for years, but I've never been happy with the domain name (too long + difficult to spell). Also, I'm no longer in the Web site design business - I'm focused on database stuff and database apps, so I don't really need a showcase for my work.
Ss it is 'that time of year', I'm strongly considering rationalizing my on-line presence; migrating to a gmail account, dropping the dedicated Web site and smartening up my Facebook and LinkedIn profiles.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to the advisability of this? Do I need to have my own domain name/Web site to look professional? What do you guys do?

If your Web Site is backed by a well designed Datastore it will still remain as a showcase for your skills.

Personally I don't see much point in having a website - unless you're trying to demonstrate something. Your own domain is useful though, I've had mine for the last 15 years purely for email purposes. I run Microsoft Exchange these days from home on it (on a Mac Mini of all things) using a static IP address from BT. The benefit of this: the places I work always block gmail/hotmail etc. but don't know about my own webmail URL so I always have access to email at work. Ha!

I maintain a web site just for that - to demonstrate web service, silverlight, and asp.net skills. The server is at my house, so before going on an interview, I can load up whatever I think I'll need to demonstrate, and take my laptop with me just in case they want to see the source code.

lol I do the same but mostly cause I like the windows mobile sync and prefer having mail on my own machines rather than in the cloud while still being able to access it via the web when I need to, etc. Shame WM doesn't support multiple exchange profiles though I think that's finally been fixed in WP7.

Just my $0.02 worth...
If you want to be taken seriously in the market, you need a website. Period. If you want to showcase your skills, set up a professional looking site to do so, and handle email through your own domain. An email account with gmail, yahoo, aol, msn, etc looks unprofessional and cheap, and it will be noticed.
If you're unhappy with the domain you have, abandon it and register a new one. I know that's hard, as almost any random collection of characters is now registered by scumbags who park them and charge extortion to release them, but it's worth the effort. You're a professional website designer - design a new one for yourself, and do it right. You are your most important customer, in this case.
If you can obtain letters of recommendation from past customers, make them available on your website. Include your resume and contact information, and a page for visitors to describe a job and solicit your bid, at a minimum. Do it right, and your website could be a great source of contacts and jobs; without one you'll be missing opportunities you never knew existed.
Good luck...

Speaking of domain names. Which do you think is better? 1) Your name 2) Something else like "AGreatDeveloper.net" or "AmazingCodingDude.com" etc.
I've owned my own name for a few years, (which happens to be name I've used as an online identity pretty much everywhere for years and has always been easier than without the 'P' because it makes it a bit more unique and less likely to be taken when registering for different places.) but I can't decide if it's a bit vain and whether I would be better switching to something else.

Why one domain? I have several! All of which are right now not really functional.  Something to work on in my, harhar, spare time.

From your domains listed in your profile it seems that your non-name domains are for specific projects/products (or were at one time, I've been to them before but they're rather blank now). I don't have any single project (outside of my work) big enough to justify it's own domain.
