His # 3 is golden though I think depending on how much variety of coding youve experienced that 25+ could be as little as 10 before you get the ah ha moment that there are a thousand ways to skin a cat when it comes to pretty much any coding problem. For crissakes people are doing javascript on the server now but they are doing it...just because (some one ironically married to it as a tool) and the circle is full. Ditto about stack overflow in fact that is the type of question Id probe a developer on. Id ask some obscure question and if they dont ask can I use stack overflow for that? every thing else would be wrong since it would take longer for them to figure it out than to simply find it on that site. Are there any particular developer tools or resources you couldnt live without? By the time you’ve been making a living programming for 25+ years, you’re pretty much over getting attached to your tools, since you’ve outlived around ten generations of them; there isn’t really any tool I use that I wouldn’t have an immediate Plan B for if all support disappeared tomorrow. Because that has happened depressingly often over those 25+ years. Resource-wise, these days I’m continually gobsmacked at no matter how eccentrically obscure the problem that strikes, there’s probably already half a dozen threads on it on Stack Overflow. Losing Stack Overflow would probably cut my productivity on the order of as much as losing a hand, yep. Maybe a hand and a half.
