Hi All,
Still trying to loose the InThePub suffix, had an interview on the 23rd Dec, the guy kinda liked me (?) and am now told by the agent they want to see me again (!). Just nothing from the agent yet, they want to see me tomorrow or Thursday. I said tomorrow at 10 am fine, as of yet I have not heard back from the agent is it too early to prod the agent.

Gotta do that - it's breaking the CP layout!

When did you say 10 am? I would want to get an answer today if I were you. You've gotta plan for tomorrow after all. Don't wait until 5 minutes before close of business. Jussaying...

Was just scanning through some old code, and I came across this, I think from a consultant we had a couple years ago:
row.StockPrice = this.StockPrice * (1m + row.Step);
In context, "Nuke" is short for dollar-nuke, or a "dollar-neutral" adjustment (Don't get me started on how complicated convertible bonds are), so it's perfectly valid and innocent... But that's just an awesome comment to see first thing, after coming back from a 3-day weekend.

I tend to prefer
or the more succinct
of course all intentions to clean up,
but, time goes by, projects end, and thus far: nothing ever caught on fire.
Sometimes when a customer annoys me and also expects code they can 'self maintain' I'll be nice and write descriptive comments and use meaningful variable/parameter names, in abbreviated Dutch of course - figure should be quite a treat for them here in Asia.
Sin tack ear lol

You should just get into the custom hot rod business and call it a day. Give software development a rest for a while, it is so overrated.

There's no money in building really nice cars. You have to work on turds to keep the shop open, and the guys that want you to work on their turds don't want to spend any more money than necessary, so you end up selling parts at cost, and making all your money on labor. The problem with that is that people try to pay you in anything but cash, such as guns, chickens, or an hour with their sister. And even if you do excellent work ALL the time, customer loyalty is crap.
TV makes it look all glamorous, but it's a tough business for the little guy, and extremely difficult to make a name for yourself.

So, it's a little like software development.

Yeah, and I think I've had my fill of what they refer to as "software development" nowadays.

Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

I do not recommend roasting girls, they tend to scream a lot.
