I'm voting to reopen this question because I am interested in an answer that does not apply specifically to students or entry-level positions, like the linked question does. — Rachel 10 hours ago

@Rachel: Nice catch. I remembered when this was closed, but I didn't have a reopen vote at the time.

A: Potential sexual harassment against my wife out of the workplace from my Boss, how to deal with it?

It is obvious that you feel a lot of anger about this. If this is true, and your boss is not reconciling this properly, then you will never feel happy at this job. If I were you I'd find another job. And when you do end up leaving, make sure everyone knows why you're leaving. People like this g...

Also one more note for people who frequent here, theres lots of questions in the tools area floating around with 2 delete votes that might be worth your time reviewing

Q: Asking my project manager for a code review is a good idea or wrong?

I have completed my coding part in our project and I would like to have a code review with my project manager in overseas, however I am little scared of asking him as I am a fresher. I am thinking that if someone(like Sr. programmer) reviews my code so that I can improve my coding style. Ask...

is there any reason this should stay here rather than go to programmers?

@RhysW oh I see. To me, this also feels like better fit for P.SE

though we better not hurry...

A: Curious migration to Programmers.SE

This is a curious migration indeed! I'll start by saying that the migration is now settled. The question was well received on Programmers and even if it's not 100% suitable for the site, there's absolutely no reason to play migration ping pong with it. Even if the Workplace crowd decides that yo...

Workplace guys discuss migration to P.Se that looks reasonable to me...

Ah kickstarter, you never fail to entertain me

@MrFox I hope you care about more than that. I can find hundreds of trivial bugs each day - when can I get a job? — enderland 5 secs ago

Chad

Chad

I hate to assume... but I am tempted to tag it india

enderland

Hahahahhahaha

I literally just posted

Just a note to future answers, my assumption is the asker is from India. — enderland 48 secs ago

Chad

Q: Should I ask my project manager to review my work?

I completed my coding part in our project and I would like to have a code review with my overseas project manager. But I'm a little scared of asking him because I am a fresher. I think that a code review could help for two reasons: A senior programmer might catch errors. The exercise will ser...

@Rachel ^^^ What do you think? Do you think this question is worthy of a reopen vote?

I've flagged this for migration to programmers given how specific it is to coding. — enderland 8 mins ago

Q: What criteria should one use to determine the optimal distance and height of the monitor on his or her desk, to ease back conditions?

What criteria should one use to determine the optimal distance and height of the monitor on his or her desk, to prevent chronical back injuries? I suppose that there are some "formulas" how to determine this. Therefore I provide the measurements: I have a 24" monitor. I'm 185cm (6'0) tall, my d...
