Software Development is for people who have a life and imagination. It's not for twitter-heads.

... a great way to meet girls. Girls who signed up for a programming class accidently. And then realized that they couldn't do it (note that this does not include the great many female developers who actually rock!). Then realized that there were a bunch of guys eager to help them.

If you like, or something of similar size here.
Honestly this was a lark, and I have already spent more time explaining it then I had planned. I thought it was interesting and wanted to know what others here (many with a great deal of experience and some with little experience) thought about what software development is.

Hi All,
In my quest to get a job I have come across another job web site or have I come across a new version of an old one? Back in my student days...(typing that still feels odd) I registered on a Job site called www.job.ac.uk, I have just come across a 'new' one called www.jobs.co.uk... are they the related?

Typo or misremembered? www.jobs.ac.uk still lives!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Yup typo, www.jobs.ac.uk, I have looked have looked at www.jobs.co.uk and it seems very different in lay out and style from jobs.ac.uk. I wonder if they are the same company...

then there's the site for linux admin jobs:

I had a look and www.jobs.co.uk[^] doesn't really look like it's particularly suitable for IT skilled people.
I mention this because the site I have used accepts your CV as a word document and it seems to work quite well.
Having to individually specify every skill and technology just feels like a bit too much, when parsing a CV that is uploaded might be better for many IT job searchers.
That's just my two-penneth.

Well you are right, sir. It's just the first I heard of it was an offer dropped in to my inbox this morning. I posted that from my phone and only really looked at the sight when I go to a PC with a keyboard!

So... A coworker was waiting for a commit I was about to make.
In my hurry it seemed I forgot something crucial, a config transformation.
So my coworker just changed it, put it on our test environment and everything worked as expected.
I changed the config, but on my machine my configuration doesn't work as expected.
And now I can't seem to get my own code to work locally while it's sitting happy on our test server

Now that's irony. I've had that happen, especially when dealing with connection strings to my local DB vs. the test environment, or the fact that I'm interfacing to different hardware (or mocking the hardware) whereas the test environment is using the real hardware, etc.

Damn, I wish I could do that!
Then just sit back and fire off e-mails: "Don't forget to fix this and that, and add a column to the HugeDumpOfData table, whilst you're at it!"
It's gotta be worth an article; how soon can you write it?
