You're welcome.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

With some coercion I convinced the boss to employee another person to help lighten my load a little bit. We employed a kid straight out of high school with a little bit of knowledge in coding practices. He is learning on the job while studying at Uni.
I think there should be more of this because it has really helped me as much as him. My code is cleaner and easier to read so that he will understand it better. Explaining network architecture, what the computer actually does to execute the code he writes, mathematics behind algorithms has helped to reinforce my knowledge.
Win-Win I think.

Being clean and consistent with your coding practices makes a hell of a difference too. I do find it irritating when the protege up an leaves before you can get any real benefit from them though.

Congratulation, you just discovered the Swiss Apprenticeship model.

It is the same in France, but for the fact that the kids work for free.

We almost work for free. Not quite, but a good Apprentice costs the company about 1/4 of a normal dev. Exchange the that to 7/4 is you caught a bad Apprentice

This is partly why I have spent time with QA: it helps you to think in simpler, clearer ways which I think focuses you better on what you are trying to produce. And sometimes the inexperienced come up with a doozie of a question which makes you think "Hay? What? But..." and throws you down a new path where you learn something good yourself.

You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Does anyone know of a good documentary telling about what it was earlier and how is it now?

Difficult, since they have troubles finding videos from that period of time.
OK, ok, I am already out.

Primordial (i.e. from the big bang) gravity waves have been observed!
That got me thinking, what did Microsoft announce which was interesting lately?
mm... not much, just as I was afraid of...

A pox on you @Collin-Jasnoch! You have ruined The Big Bang Theory for me .
I never noticed the laugh track before reading your post last week[^], but now it is all I hear when I watch the show.

As they film the Big Bang Theory in front of a studio audience, it's hard to imagine that there wouldn't be laughter.
|
|
|
|

Sure, but try to focus on it and you will soon notice how orchestrated the laughter often starts and ends.
Right now I am watching a rerun of an ooooold episode of Step by Step[^]. That show is from a more innocent time and is very family oriented, but it is always good for some great laughs.

Some of today's sitcoms would be almost silent if they were recorded in front of an audience.

Try watching M*A*S*H with and without the laughter track...

Jimmy Carr: "Michael Jackson earned $120,000,000 last year, and he's dead. I just throw that out there in case anyone from Justin Bieber's record company is watching..."
Sounds like a plan to me...

My only problem with that is MJ lasted quite a while before he managed to kark it, lets hope the other little twat doesn't last that liong or produce so many performances.

Do you remember back in the distant past when Prince was considered weird and Michael Jackson was the normal one?

The Lounge is still the only place I ever see mention of Beiber.
Given that I'm not a teenage girl and don't read showbiz or celebrity magazines or websites, I don't understand how he spends so much time irritating the rest of you.
