I'd like to know what management and the work environment are like where you
work. I need something relative to compare my current work environment.
Here's a few questions I have:
1.) Is it normal for (technical) management (actually 1 of 2 co owners) to
constantly interrupt developers all day with with questions such as:
"can we look at this",
"I found this, can we try it now",
"Can we see what these guys are doing",
"can we change the color of this just for now"
and so on?
2.) Is it normal for developers to bounce around on little tiny projects all
day or stick to one or two large projects and work with their team?
We use no type of source control, management won't buy new software, there
are no standards in our development b/c management won't efforce them, we
shoot from the hip with planning, developers aren't comp'd anything for
efforts. Obviously I'm looking for another job but want to make sure my
expectations aren't to high. I believe my current work environment is a
disaster. I didn't think that when I joined but as I've improved, I feel
now this place will just degrade my skills. I want to be rewarded for
effort and also need to be around developers that have much experience, good
programming practicies, and can easily leave me in the dust (better than me
in other words). I'm sure there are plenty of places like that.

Hi Brett, where I work we have got an it-team of 6:
5 programmers and 1 one network admin. One of the programmers is "head" of
IT, but it's more a title than anything else, about important things we
always consult each other. So it isn't like somebody want's to buy some new
program and just buys it. We have the privilege that the main management
trusts us, therefor we haven't realy got a budget but we buy what need. So
they trust us and we don't abuse it. There also isn't supervising like you
describe it, ofcourse we try to set dates by what time a project needs to be
finished, but if for example we can't get that deadline nobody gets blaimed
unless it's realy somebody's fault. But I'm very aware that it isn't like
this in all company's, I've got the adavantage that my company isn't a
software selling company, so we write software for internal use and for our
distributors only and therefor there isn't to much time pressure. We also
work on one or two projects at time but mostly one because they're large
projects but sometimes ofcourse we have to do smaller projects in between.
We also use our own controls/classes library so all projects use the same
controls and all projects or programmed in more or less the same way.
Ofcourse not everything is super here. We also haven't got any form of
compensation for extra efforts which is a bit a shame because some people
here do work a lot harder and programm better than others but we all get
paid the same wage and we are a bit underrespected. There are also some
other problems but I can't discust them here. But in general I feel happy
here at work and I'm sure you'll find a better working environment than the
one where you work now. Ofcourse there will always be things that can be
better or are better at other places but you have to consider the pro's and
con's. But I think you haven't got you're expectations up to high, compared
to my working situation.

At least it sounds as though I'm being practical with my expectations.

Don't be to optimistic there are probably more managers who know nothing
than there are who are real pro's. A problem can be that the real pro's have
the same managers as you describe.
Try to find the skills to avoid that.
One of those I learned as one of the first in a kind of same environment as
you described. Make a little error in what you make, that is easy to
correct. However it should be seen directly. When it is seen, tell that it
is very difficult to change. Don't forget to give compliments until they are
sick from it and never tell that you did make it express.
Although when it is to hard, than try to change and to experience yourself
what is the best environment for you. Sometimes are there advantages working
in an environment as you describe where the managers are nulls in your area
of skills.
However, when you are young, than is my advice. Try to move, you learn to
slow in such an amateur environment as you now describe.

Hi I think Cor ment that your boss would see it and that you would say it's
good he noticed it and then you pretend it's very difficult to fix but you
know it's very easy and nevertheless you get all the credit for fixing it
:-)
If that's not what Cor ment he'll correct me :-)

Well, since it is software and my boss doesn't write software, I'll have to
bring it to his attention. Actually, I've already done a number of those.
I'm the only one here programming in .NET and has knowledge of OOP. This is
a Coldfusion house. One day I decided to do something in VB.NET to
accomplish an MS Office task. They liked it and I've been able to use
VB.NET to solve quite a few problems here that I'm not sure how they would
have done otherwise.

news:uO******** ******@TK2MSFTN GP15.phx.gbl... Hi I think Cor ment that your boss would see it and that you would say
it's
good he noticed it and then you pretend it's very difficult to fix but you
know it's very easy and nevertheless you get all the credit for fixing it
:-)
If that's not what Cor ment he'll correct me :-)

I'm not sure what you mean here. You are saying to cause a problem on
purpose but make it looks like an accident? Then let other people fix
the
error and give them compliments when they do?

Can you do a search for more that one string in another string?
Something like:
someString.IndexOf("something1","something2","something3",0)
or would you have to do something like:

Apropos recent threads about GUI editors, coming from a Win32/WTL C++
background, I actually like the idea of being able to (easily) create GUIs
programmatically.
But I still see a lot of the same tedium: hooking up events to handlers, and
getting data into and out of dialogs. In C++, this is generally handled
through code generation and/or macros, but IMO these are brittle and ugly.
So my question: Is there a Pythonic way to make...

As a complete novice in the study of Python, I am asking myself where this
language is superior or better suited than others. For example, all I see in
the tutorials are lots of examples of list processing, arithmetic

What is particularly disappointing is the absence of a Windows IDE,
components and an event driven paradigm. How does Python stand relative to
the big 3, namely Visual C++,...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
