Should I be an algorithm developer, or java web frameworks type developer?

So - as I see it, there are really two kinds of developers. Those that do frameworks, web services, pretty-making front ends, etc etc. Then there are developers that write the algorithms that solve the problem. That is, unless the problem is "display this raw data in some meaningful way." In that case, the framework/web developer guy mig...

Where's the programmer happier: agency or corporation?

I've been mulling this one for awhile. Where is a programmer more likely to be challenged, do great work, and feel fulfilled in what they do? I used to think a good corporation offered the stability and environment to help a programmer hone his skills and have a sane workday. I still do think that to some extent. On the other hand, I...

Good practises (ettiquette) when working in a dev team

Hi, In a software dev team, what habits make a good team player? For example, I have learnt that you don't modify another person's code if you see something wrong with it but don't have authority to do so (regardless of how bad the flaw is), do one task at a time and don't get sidetracked into fixing something else which you weren't ev...
