  1. while theres a will... on Is Programming a Dead End Job? · · Score: 0

    ..theres a way, and while there are going to be computers they'll be programmers... there are hundreds of us out there... its just gettin the training and the money (i have no experience in the field but it sounds damn'ed hard - im guessin embedded programming = assembly/machine code?) which is an important factor in what sounds like the toughest programming sector, people may love programming but how many want to spend weeks writing in the most cryptic programming language for cheap!

  2. For me its... on Finding the Programming Zone? · · Score: 0

    *Early in morning, late at night

    *Dark-ish lighting

    *Music - winamp set to random, not overly loud though

    *Nutrition - before i start get a choc bar or crisps etc, some kind of carbonated drink (coke, pepsi, sprite)

    *NO interruptions

    *Not connected to the net as its too tempting to go into chat, messenger etc... - but keep an eye on /. of course :)
