 nebyah rated 16 months ago- Good, in a good sort of way. If you're all geeky and stuff. Which I'm not, because I am sooooooo damn cool. Hell, if I were any cooler I would start talking about Star Trek right now. Which I won't, because I am, in the coolness stakes, just short of discussing the merits of dilith...

- From the page: "When I started my Longhorn contract, the build labs could do a clean build of the entire operating system overnight. I guess that was about a 12 hour build. When my contract ended six months later, the build required about 18 hours. From the hints I gathered, they usually upgrade their build hardware about every 9 months, which halves the build time, returning it to less than 12 hours."
The follies of hardware solutions... build smart build fast

- I really like the idea of putting a comment log at the top.

- From the page: "At Microsoft, if you want to know how to use some function within Windows, you are expected to read the source code to that function to learn how it works & how to use it."

- Nice stories but it's really irritating to read this because the author has replaced every single "and" with a &-symbol.

Which I won't, because I am, in the coolness stakes, just short of discussing the merits of dilithium crystal reactions vs the raw power of The Force.
I can see you're totally impressed at my coolness.

- From the page: "you don't want to have the root password on any system you don't own & are not paid to maintain"
I definitely need to keep this in mind.

- From the page: "I've been programming since 1981, including some work for pay in my teens. I turned pro in 1992. I've mostly worked as a contractor, about 9 months on each job on the mean, so I've seen a lot of places, a lot of teams, & a lot of projects since then. Here are some true stories from what I've seen."Very, very interesting. If you're into programming, give it a read. There's even a section about working at Microsoft.
