Tommorrow is the deadline, boy did it come fast!!? It's twisted but some of us have procrastinated just a tad as the thrill of an all-nighter makes things sharp and real- it must be the adrenaline. But how do you keep your mind on the game as the hours slip away and your eyes burn and squint? Do you eat lots of candy? Gulp cup after bi...
Do programmers like to create deadlines? Im a web developer, and schedules/deadlines are all over the place in my field. But I've worked with some software engineers/programmers who hate deadlines, is there a way around that? ...
I have a developer on my staff that chronically overshoots deadlines, and estimates. On several projects the last week or two everyday I hear "It should be done by the end of the day". This developer does good work. I have already spoke to him about his problems. He seems genuinely frustrated, and miffed about what to do to correct them...
There are many different bad practices, such as memory leaks, that are easy to slip into a program on accident. Sometimes, they might even be able to jury-rig your program together. I'm working on a project right now and it works if I deliberately put a memory leak in my code. If I take the leak out, the code crashes. Obviously this is...

This is not a technical question, but rather a social and methodical one. I am a computer sciences student and I usually have really tough programming assignments. I don`t know if it is only happening to me but sometimes, particularly when deadline is approaching, i find myself in a harsh situation. I cannot find my mistake in the code o...
I know this may not be exactly a coder question, but I feel it is still related to programming because I'm sure many developers have come across this before and might have some insight on how to resolve this or have advice. There is an actually programming question though. My issue as a developer. I work in a small company, roughly 15 ...

As the deadline approaches, you can clearly see that you will not be able to make it. How do you tell your client this, in a professional way, without upsetting the client too much. Do you...
