    The cost of OS licenses is ridiculously small compared to everything else

    Yes and no. The cost of OS licenses is ridiculously small. The cost of OS and app license *COMPLIANCE*, on the other hand, can be huge *cough*BSA*cough*.

  14. Re:Where? on The Ugly Underbelly of Coder Culture · · Score: 4, Insightful

    2. Whiteboard coding is taboo, no programmer I know writes code on paper or a whiteboard. Why on earth would I ask someone to do that.

    Because some developers actually think about what they're coding, and design first? And it's a hell of a lot easier to diagram on a whiteboard than on a PC?

    3. Algorithmic programming? Don't care most of these are well known patterns and a 30 sec google search can come up with a answer. I do not need a cowboy that is going to try to refactor well known patterns or existing libraries just for the sake of doing it.

    This makes zero sense. Who said that using algorithms will cause you to do this? This is a non-sequiter.
