@ThomasOwens did you know if you take 2 CMMIs and a block of wood, bake them in the oven for 2 hours and sprinkle with Black Sigma, you will actually create Scrumblefall? It's a secret recipe, I heard it from Mitch Hickey

Help, I'm on Big-O homework question #2 and it seems about twice as complex as the first question, but it's taking more than twice as long to figure out. What is the relationship between the complexity of a Big-O question and the time it takes to answer it, and how do I figure it out? (The meta-question I expected to see)

At Employer^^^ one team lead (a month before he left) did a demo for the managers. He got a cardboard box and wooden blocks. On the blocks he wrote the projects his team was to do. He said "this box is one month - put as many of those blocks into the box and we'll get them done in a month". The managers loaded it up just a bit high... he picked up the box and the blocks all fell out of the bottom.

The bottom was rotten "Oh yea, we haven't addressed the libraries that let us build these things in a reasonable timeframe in over a year - they're a bit messy."

It will get +50, a hot question, a meta post, closed, reopened, closed, deleted, undeleted, reopened, closed, locked, and then a SE employee (maybe Oded?) will finally delete and say "cut that out"

@JohnConnor Java is super useful because it lets you explore software engineering topics without having to deal with the low-level baggage that C++ implies. I like C++ very much, but it's an awful tool for teaching.
