@tgkprog Perhaps "full_status" and "child_status" would be appropriate.

Q: New Site Name and Scope Proposals

From Ana, a Stack Exchange Community Manager in the previous question about changing the site name: It took us a good while, but the Community Team has circled up and here's where we stand on your request to change Programmers.SE's name. We agree that renaming this site is a good idea....

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use an IoC container." Now they have a factory of problems.

When reading these conversations, mentally replace the word "Haskell" with "Meth" and they start making sense.

Hi! I'm a Ph.D. student and it's diffcult for me to reach "real" software practioniers for my research. However, I think that academic research should focus more on their actual work practices, which is currently rarely done. Our group prepared a short online questionnaire on how and why software practioniers (developers, testers, architects, etc.) use sketches and diagrams, which is available at st.uni-trier.de/survey. It just takes 5-10 minutes to answers the questions.

The "Change the Name" folks are right. Programmers should simply be called "Software Design."

Ah you're right, I was fallaciously assuming that people are rational and think about what they do, rather than trying to enable agile synergies to transform business value into pervasive market excrement.

Programming is like giving instructions to a 2 year old. It's all a constant string of "Why? and No!" and when you ask them why they did something wrong they say "I don't know".

> A man in a hot air balloon realised he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted,
"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The woman below replied,
"You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."
"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist.
"I am," replied the woman, "How did you know?"

A reminder to all of you: Very Low Quality is not for poorly thought out answers or wrong answers or answers that are not an answer. VLQ is for incomprehensible garbage. Examples: Pure Textspeak, other garbled English so bad it can't be discerned, posts that are indistinguishable from a million monkeys.
